Audie Award Nominee, Nonfiction, 2013Within the 1980s, Elton John observed friend after good friend, cherished one after cherished one, perish needlessly from Products. In the midst of the plague, he befriended Ryan White, a Indiana guy ostracized by his town and his school because of the HIV infection he had contracted from a bloodstream transfusion. Ryan's inspiring life and damaging death led Elton to two realizations: His own life was a mess. And he had to take action to help stop the AIDS turmoil. Since that time, Elton has dedicated himself to overcoming the plague and the stigma of Products. He has done this through the Elton John Products Foundation, which has lifted and donated $275 million currently to fighting the condition worldwide. Love Is the Stop is Elton's personal bank account of his life through the Products epidemic, including reports of his close friendships with Ryan White, Freddie Mercury, Princess Diana, Elizabeth Taylor, as well as others, and the story of the Elton John Products Basis. With powerful conviction and mental power, Elton conveys the personal toll Products has used on his life - and his infinite determination to stop its spread. Elton writes, "That is a disease that must definitely be cured not by the miraculous vaccine, but by changing hearts and thoughts, and through the collective effort to break down social barriers and to build bridges of compassion. Why are we not doing more? That is a question I've thought deeply about, and wish to answer - and help change - by writing this publication." Sales of Love Is the Cure profit the Elton John Products Foundation.
