What Jess and Molly set out to record is a case of censorship: high school administration objects to their "frank articles about AIDS" in The Rampage. Their investigative reporting reveals a deeper tragedy. Written in 1988, this book failed to find a publisher; an epilogue traces the fates of Jess, Molly, and AIDS from 1988 to 1993, when Bess self-published the book.
