Moloka'i by Alan Brennert



Moloka'i



Moloka'i takes place in the Leper colony in the Hawaiian Islands. Although the book is officially fiction, the events that happen in the book are true. It is the story of one young girl who contracts the disease and is sent away from her family to live on the colony with other lepers. The book is well researched and very moving in its depiction of life in the leper colony on Moloka'i.
