Music performed by Jessarae

Emerson Price cannot remember a time when life was ordinary. She was four years old when she and her mom were diagnosed as HIV-positive and eight when her parents divorced. Now she is thirteen and her mother is dead.

 

When Emmy's dad and stepmother send her to Camp Positive, a camp for HIV-positive girls, Emmy is certain she is going to hate it. But soon she realizes that she is not so alone after all -- and that sometimes letting other people in can make all the difference in the world. Author Courtney Sheinmel has written an unforgettable novel about strength and hope in the face of tragedy. 

We are very excited that Jessarae will be performing at the event.  One of music's hottest emerging talents, Jessarae is a 14-year-old singer/songwriter with a full length debut CD in the works, to be released Winter 2010.  You can preview Jessarae’s music on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxVH_bPYTz0
