World Made of Glass
Ami Polonsky

Iris keeps his illness secret because she knows the virus brings fear and prejudice, which makes it difficult to stay close to her friends. She confides in a new friend, Julian, and resists growing attached to her father’s kind partner, J. R. Iris and her father exchange acrostic poems, which comfort her through his final days and after his death.
