About the Book
Leprosy is more than just a biblical disease. It's a condition that countless people have faced. "Palo Seco: Life Lessons from Leprosy" takes you inside the legendary places once known as "leper colonies," with exclusive photos and interviews made with leprosy patients who still live in historic settlements operated by the United States — including Kalaupapa, Hawaii, Carville, Louisiana, and Palo Seco, Panama. These are personal stories of challenges and survival.
