Reader Reviews
Imagine being fourteen and diagnosed with a deadly disease. Now imagine being torn away from the loving arms of your family and sent alone to an unknown island to live with others who share your disease, where you must learn how to survive by whatever means necessary, knowing there is no hope that you will be able to leave. This is the setting of Healing Water, a novel based on the real leper colony of Molokai in the late 1800s. Filled with bitter anger over the abandonment by his beloved friend Kamaka, Pia allows himself to turn to the seamier side of the island's inhabitants. How Pia struggles to make peace with himself makes this a truly gripping novel, and one I can highly recommend to readers of all ages. I am now inspired to learn more of this lonely colony and its inhabitants. Thank you to the Historical Novel Society for an advance review copy of this terrific young adult novel.
