"Before there was social distancing, there was social isolation: the author's mother was confined to a leper colony for over 20 years. Her husband, Johnny P. Harmon contracted leprosy when he was 24 years old in 1935 and is sent to the National Leprosarium, a prison-like facility in Carville, Louisiana. What might have been a catastrophic diagnosis for most people, Johnny treats as little more than an inconvenience."--Provided by publisher.
