All The Young Men, a gripping and triumphant tale of human compassion, is the true story of Ruth Coker Burks, a young single mother in Hot Springs, Arkansas, who finds herself driven to the forefront of the AIDS crisis, and becoming a pivotal activist in America’s fight against AIDS.In 1986, 26-year old Ruth visits a friend at the hospital when she notices that the door to one of the hospital rooms is painted red. She witnesses nurses drawing straws to see who would tend to the patient inside, all of them reluctant to enter the room. Out of impulse, Ruth herself enters the quarantined space and immediately begins to care for the young man who cries for his mother in the last moments of his life. Before she can even process what she’s done, word spreads in the community that Ruth is the only person willing to help these young men afflicted by AIDS, and is called upon to nurse them. As she forges deep friendships with the men she helps, she works tirelessly to find them housing and jobs, even searching for funeral homes willing to take their bodies – often in the middle of the night. She cooks meals for tens of people out of discarded food found in the dumpsters behind supermarkets, stores rare medications for her most urgent patients, teaches sex-ed to drag queens after hours at secret bars, and becomes a beacon of hope to an otherwise spurned group of ailing gay men on the fringes of a deeply conservative state.Throughout the years, Ruth defies local pastors and nurses to help the men she cares for: Paul and Billy, Angel, Chip, Todd and Luke. Emboldened by the weight of their collective pain, she fervently advocates for their safety and visibility, ultimately advising Governor Bill Clinton on the national HIV-AIDS crisis.This deeply moving and elegiac memoir honors the extraordinary life of Ruth Coker Burks and the beloved men who fought valiantly for their lives with AIDS during a most hostile and misinformed time in America.

This is the book that 2020 needed. Ruth tells the story of the poor abandoned souls that she helped to guide through the premature end of life they experienced. I was born in 1983 so the time that was referenced because of age and life experience I was not aware of the AIDs crisis, the toll of it, the expanse of it. This book humanizes the numbers I understand as an adult.Ruth is a good story teller, in a small town way. I smiled at the explanation of the politics, and personalities, and the quiet drama having grown up in a small town myself. through her stories i saw the men she cared for in their totality. Not shrinking from describing the ravages of HIV and AIDS on the human body, Ruth and her coauthor manages to in almost vignette style they are still complete humans on the page. I cried as i read, even though i knew her story already. The strength this woman has is awe inspiring, she was able to stand up to the pressures of that small town. The pressures of her church, of her friends to do what was right. To do what is right when it's unpopular is the calling of all humanity, Ruth answered that call with such power, such grace, she is truly a role model of mine, a personal hero. I cannot recommend this book highly enough to any who like me were children during the AIDS crisis, anyone who considers themselves an ally to the LGBT+ population, or someone who loves a story of the best of humanity.
