Summary
Rachel, who is only seven years old, is forcibly separated from her family and sent to a leprosy settlement on the remote island of Moloka'i.
Critique
Parts of this story are incredibly sad, but ultimately this saga is uplifting and informative--about Hansen's disease (leprosy) and about the history of Hawaii. Recommend.
