I was first drawn to this book due to the setting. The Hawaiian Islands captured my senses 5 years ago on my honeymoon and I believe my family and I will forever be pulled towards them, longing to return. I have yet to venture to the small island of Moloka'i, but now having read this book I will know so much more about its history when I am someday lucky enough to visit. The novel opens during a turbulent time in Hawaii's history, the late 1800s when Hawaiians were succumbing to a tragic and mysterious disease, leprosy. At this time the disease was not understood, and out of fear anyone with symptoms was immediately quarantined, and eventually sent away to a leper colony on Moloka'i. After my initial shock at the idea of families being torn apart and people being removed from their lives, I began to consider the ramifications of such a disease. Alternatively, had the infected remained where they were, would Hawaii have seen more loss of life? Were there other options that would have helped, rather than ostracizing those infected? Sadly, many people were sent to finish out their lives on Moloka'i. In this work of historical fiction, Alan Brennert intoduces us to seven year old Rachel Kalama, a girl who develops the telltale sores and, despite all efforts to keep them hidden, is ripped away from her family. What enfolds is her story of hope in the face of disaster, as she navigates a new path with a collection of friends and acquaintances who will become her new family. Rachel's character is an inspiration of strength in the face of adversity, and an example of what can happen when you take what you're given and make the best of life's circumstances. I very much enjoyed getting to know her in this novel. Moloka'i captivated me from page one all the way through to the satisfying conclusion.
