I read this book two years ago while on Maui for Christmas. My mom had just read it, and it has since been passed all around our extended Napili family. I had forgotten about it until this last trip when my mom brought it out for my brother's girlfriend to read. It really is one of the best books I have read in a long time. The story is so heartbreaking yet so beautiful, and kept me completely captivated from cover to cover. I sat undisturbed from essentially sunup to sundown one day, unable to tear myself away from it until I was finished. I laughed, I cried, I absolutely loved it.
It follows the life of a girl with leprosy and her life banished to a lepper colony on Moloka'i.
