This has to be one of the best books I have ever read! The story of the leper colony, the stigma of the disease, and the lives of those who worked with the stricken are beautifully intertwined with the fictional characters. It is a book that will make you cry when you realize what people went through and how far we have come in the treatment of this terrible disease. I have recommended this book to many patrons and book club members in the library where I am on staff and their reactions were all the same. They found it to be excellent. It is a great read and I am looking forward to Brennert's next book!
