Really enjoyed this!! And I learned so much. I had noooo idea about most of this history. Really sad for most of the book tbh, but I really enjoyed the ending and felt it rounded out the whole thing

One of the most stunning books I’ve read this year. A rich story of the tenacity of the human spirit and the power of love (no, not the romantic kind). Plus, the book is sprinkled with Hawaiian history + lore. What more could you want??

A moving and insightful account of how a diagnosis of Hansen's disease (leprosy) completely impacted the life of individuals and their families. Heartbreaking and hopeful. Definitely a must read!!

4.5 stars rounded down. I would love to see this made into a movie! The heartbreak and sadness in this was real. I felt every word and every tear :(
