Reader Comments:
This is a tender, heart-breaking tale about a period of American history that I'm betting the majority of readers probably don't know a lot about. Brennert really humanizes the victims of leprosy in the novel, putting a face on a condition that is hard to think about. -- Sandra C.

I enjoyed this one so much when it was a One Book One City finalist a couple of years ago that I looked for others by this author. I was amused to discover that he also wrote comic book stories, and even wrote for the Twilight Zone TV series when they revived it back in the 1980s in color.-- Dave G.

While I did end up liking this book, in many ways I felt like Brennert almost sugar-coated some of the horrible experiences these leprosy patients must have gone through. Still, it was an interesting read..-- Samantha R.
