Moloka'i by Alan Brennert
Set against the backdrop of late 19th and early 20th century Hawaii, this poignant narrative follows the life of a young girl named Rachel, who is torn from her family and sent to the isolated leprosy settlement of Kalaupapa on the island of Moloka'i. As she grows up in this secluded community, Rachel experiences the challenges and triumphs of life, forming deep friendships and discovering love, all while grappling with the stigma of her illness. Her journey is one of resilience and hope, as she learns to embrace her identity and find beauty in a world marked by hardship.
