A biogrpahy of St. Damien de Veuster, often known as "Damien the Leper" or simply Father Damien. This book follows his ministry to lepers at a remote colony in Kalawao up until his death from leprosy, contracted at the settlement. Father Damien is one of the great saints of the 19th century, so clearly a witness to the Gospel that even the New York Times called for immediate canonization following his death.
