Summary: "This eye-opening book reveals the painful experiences leprosy patients had to endure because of the unjust segregation and child-separation policies.

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
