In the late nineteenth century, twelve-year-old Liliha is diagnosed with leprosy and sent to live on the island of Malietoa in isolation with other Hawaiians who have contracted the disease. She is stunned to discover a lawless environment, where there is no supervision and inadequate food and housing. With only herself to depend on, Liliha must do whatever it takes to survive. Glossary.
