This book showed me an aspect of history I had never considered, what happened to people diagnosed with Leprosy before the cure? It shows a family plagued by the disease, the search for a cure, and how these people in the colony attempted to lead normal lives while seperated from their families. The fear surrounding the disease and being taken away from everyone you know and love, and trying to find a new normal in the colony while your family has to figure out how to move on without little hope of ever seeing their loved one again was poignant.
