The Way Home: The Isolated Emotional World of Former Leprosy Patients and Their Descendants
"This eye-opening book reveals the painful experiences leprosy patients had to endure because of the unjust segregation and child-separation policies. The stories also describe the discrimination faced by the second generation due to the stigma of the disease which still lingers in Malaysian society. The book carries a strong message that every policy concerning a human being’s segregation has to be conscientiously evaluated on moral grounds." - Lim Yong
