Outcast But Not Forsaken

True Stories from a Paraguayan Leper Colony

Beschreibung

These fascinating stories from a woman banished to the margins or her society glow with hard-earned spiritual and practical wisdom for facing and overcoming seemingly hopeless circumstances.

Autor

Maria Weiss (1900-1988) was born in Germany and emigrated to South America as a child, first to Argentina and later to Paraguay. Maria married Adolfo Weiss in 1928 and had a son. After contracting leprosy around 1935, she was separated from her husband and son and lived eighteen years in an isolated leper colony called Santa Isabel in Sapucay, Paraguay, until treatment became available. She then joined her husband in the Bruderhof community.
