520    "Young Rachel Kalama, growing up in idyllic Honolulu in 
       the 1890s, is part of a big, loving Hawaiian family, and 
       dreams of seeing the far-off lands that her father, a 
       merchant seaman, often visits. But at the age of seven, 
       Rachel and her dreams are shattered by the discovery that 
       she has leprosy. Forcibly removed from her family, she is 
       sent to Kalaupapa, the isolated leper colony on the island
       of Moloka'i. In her exile she finds a family of friends to
       replace the family she's lost: a native healer, Haleola, 
       who becomes her adopted "auntie" and makes Rachel aware of
       the rich culture and mythology of her people; Sister Mary 
       Catherine Voorhies, one of the Franciscan sisters who care
       for young girls at Kalaupapa; and the beautiful, worldly 
       Leilani, who harbors a surprising secret. At Kalaupapa she
       also meets the man she will one day marry. True to 
       historical accounts, "Moloka'i" is the story of an 
       extraordinary human drama, the full scope and pathos of 
       which has never been told before in fiction. But Rachel's 
       life, though shadowed by disease, isolation, and tragedy, 
       is also one of joy, courage, and dignity. This is a story 
       about life, not death; hope, not despair. It is not about 
       the failings of flesh, but the strength of the human 
       spirit"--|cProvided by publisher.
