ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
Alan Brennert's Moloka'i tells the story of Rachel Kalama, a young Hawaiian girl who is sent to the leper colony of Kalaupapa in the late 19th century. The book follows her life as she navigates the challenges of living in isolation while dealing with the stigma of leprosy, and her quest to create a meaningful life. The narrative explores themes of love, loss, resilience, and the human capacity to find hope even in the direst of circumstances. It delves into the lives of the patients and caregivers at Kalaupapa, showing their struggles to maintain their dignity in the face of a terrible disease. The novel also depicts the interactions between Hawaiian and foreign cultures, as well as the impact of historical events on the characters' lives. The story is a blend of personal narrative with real historical events, making it an emotional and educational read.
