Ami lives on Culion, where some of the inhabitants - including her mother - have leprosy. She loves her home - but then islanders untouched by sickness are forced to leave.

Reviews
I liked this book because it made you hungry for more. It always left you on a cliffhanger which made you want to read and read and read until you found out what happened in the end.I could not put this book down!I thought the author did a really good job because you felt like you were there.I liked Ami the best because she always looks for the positive side of things.

This book was fiction based on true stories of lepers on Culion in the Philippines my favourite character is Ami because she is unwavering. I am glad I have read this book and would recommended it to my friends.

A brilliant story that was based on the history of the leprosy colonies of the Philippines.
