An intriguing story of courage, resilience, and rethinking life, set in 1920s Los Angeles, is based on the true story of the only leper colony in America. When a doctor diagnoses leprosy in the wealthy and self-centered socialite Miriel West,... she believes it must be a mistake. After all, such a disease only appears in books or magazines! But in an instant, her life changes: she is taken away from her husband, her young daughters, and deprived of all the comforts she is used to. At first, she hopes that her exile will be short-lived, but those sent to Carville — a leprosarium in Louisiana — are more prisoners than patients. Now she must find a new purpose within these walls, battling an unchosen fate. She will have to go through all the stages of the inevitable — from denial to acceptance, gain new experiences, and change. For even in the darkest circumstances, there is light and life.
