A remarkable, true story about a young man's loss of everything he deemed important and his discovery as to what matters most. His description of the isolated colony in Carville, Louisiana and the people that lived there were interesting. It was a piece of history that I did not know existed in the United States. I knew and studied the colony for people disfigured by leprosy on Molokai, Hawaii but the Carville colony was actually in the continental US.
