Moloka'i by Alan Brennert

5.0

WOW! What an amazing story! This epic book spans pre and post World War II life in the leper colony of Moloka'i Hawaii. The book follows the life of Rachel Kalama who is sent into exile to Moloka'i at the age of 6. Fascinating historical fiction based upon real events. This book was eye-opening. However, the story is truly about family, hope, forgiveness, tenacity and faith. I was deeply moved by this beautiful story and found myself in tears more than once! I highly recommend Moloka'i!
