Page-turner about a 'normal' man forced to become heroic
By Robert J. Agnew
This book is perhaps the most moving account of persoanl suffering, and courage, I've ever read. It's made all the more so by the fact that thed 'hero'--unlike our Hollywood hereos--is a normal guy, and the story is unknown and unheralded. ( I found my copy for 50 cents at a library's throw-away bin, kind of like the people it talks about in the book) A Spanish-American war veteran returns from the Phillipines to begin his young life only to find out a few years hence he was infected with leprosy. The real enemy is not so much the disease as the immediate ramifications which include exclusion from normal life and society. The heartbreak, sorrow, hopelessness, courage and truth that unfold are a lesson for anyone who ever wonders whether their life counts. Lessons abound for anyone faced with physical, emotional, or social ills that seem to bar them from living a meaningful life.

A rare find both as a book and as a true story
By Cindy Beard
This true story of an astonishing man's life deserves attention.
I accidentally ran across a battered old copy of this book at a rotting mountain lodge, tucked among other dusty, abandoned books. Thankfully, I was just bored enough to begin reading it. It only took a few pages to hook me.
At the time, I had recently become disabled. Before my disability, I was physically fit, and I had a successful career, for which I had struggled to obtain a doctoral degree. I was newly married. Suddenly, life was no longer what I had planned, and I had a hard time figuring out why I should continue with this "new" life.
This man, in a similar position, faced even greater disappointments. Yet, he found meaning for his life and helped others live what life they had left with joy and purpose, all under extraordinarily difficult circumstances.
I resist using the "politically correct" name for the disease that is the subject of this book; I prefer to call it "leprosy," for two reasons. First, I don't think that word has the religious and social stigma it once had, at least not here in the U.S. Second, calling it "Hansen's" disease, after the doctor who identified the bacteria that caused it, seems to have had the unintended effect of imparting the belief that "science" has leprosy under control and that no one suffers from it.
Incidentally, there is still no cure for all leprosy types, and its damage cannot be repaired. Although, the bacteria that causes leprosy was discovered in 1873, exactly how it is "caught" or communicated among people is still a debated mystery. Some argue that leprosy may still be contracted in the U.S., and it most certainly still exists in many places around the world. There was a leprosy colony here in the mainland U.S. and one Hawaii. The "new" remedies used in the 1920s, discussed in the book are still partially in use, although improved today. So, the factual story is also still current, as well as the message.
If you need a reminder, as we all do at times, that life can be full of purpose, love and joy no matter what curve ball life pitches -- then this is a simply written story that will indelibly embed that notion into your heart.

Wonderful book about a misunderstood disease
By A Customer
I read this book in the 8th grade for the first time. I think it was great and have read it over and over again. It is a fast read and very touching.
