About this book

"An absolutely fascinating book." --Washington Post "Beautifully written, deeply perceptive." --Los Angeles Times "Superb. The best account ever published of Father Damien and his long testing at Kalawao." --Honolulu Advertiser "History with a very special human face ... examines the evidence sensitively and evocatively." --Journal of Pacific History "May be the best biography of Damien yet written. Carefully researched and reported, the author¿s fascination with the man and the disease is transmitted to the reader." --Library Journal
