      abstract = {Reveals the untold history of the infamous American  leprosy colony on Molokai and of the extraordinary people  who struggled to survive under the most horrific  circumstances. Tracked by bounty hunters and torn screaming  from their families, the luckless were loaded into  shipboard cattle stalls and abandoned in a lawless place  where brutality held sway. Many did not have leprosy, and  most of those who did were not contagious, yet all were  caught in a shared nightmare. The colony had little food,  little medicine, and very little hope. Exile continued for  more than a century, the longest and deadliest instance of  medical segregation in American history. Nearly 9,000  people were banished to the colony, trapped by pounding  surf and armed guards and the highest sea cliffs in the  world. 28 live there still.--From publisher description.},
