Book Overview
This 25th volume in the acclaimed Vision Books series of saints' lives for youth 9-15 years old is the story of the saintly Fr. Damien, who in 1872 went to the island of Molokai, where lepers had been exiled to live in miserable surroundings.

He spent his life caring for all the needs of the outcast lepers, and even after Damien himself contracted leprosy he carried on working for his "fellow lepers" to the end. Illustrated

I really love this book and father Damien. But I don't know if I could ever suck the lepers sores like he did. He was a real priest who risked his life to save souls for those who didn't have a priest stationed in Molokai.
