In the Shadow of the Pali: A Story of the Hawaiian Leper Colony

(4) YA When twelve-year-old Liliha is diagnosed with leprosy, she is sent to the Kalaupapa settlement on Molokai, where she discovers that the promises of food, care, and shelter were cynical exaggerations. Although inexpertly paced and sketchily characterized, this novel of the Molokai leper colony in the 1860s is a vivid picture of honor and despair amidst terrible circumstances.
