The book’s turning point came in the early 2000s, when she moved back to Berlin from Los Angeles. She had been clean for a few years, working with HIV-positive children—a detail most news stories missed. She wrote about holding a little boy named Samuel who was dying of AIDS. Samuel had no one. Christiane visited him every day until the end.

The follow-up to the 1978 cult classic Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo ( Zoo Station ), titled ( Mein zweites Leben ), provides a harrowing and unflinching look at the subsequent 35 years of Christiane Felscherinow's life. While the book has been an immediate bestseller in Germany and translated into over a dozen languages, many readers are still searching for a definitive English edition.
