miskel 's review for:

The Second Life of Mirielle West by Amanda Skenandore
4.0

Enlightening about America's dealing of leprosy/Hansen's Disease

Ms. Skenandore did a thoughtful job in bringing life to Carville and its patients, and even to some staff. Well-written and enlightening to what too many dealt with ~ and tends to remind one of their own hidden biases, assumptions, or even fears about things they don't truly understand. I was a bit disappointed with the turn, but knew it was likely.

For those who want to know: some scattered profanity, God's name used in vain a couple of times.
