AUTHOR

Nalaielua, Henry Kalalahilimoku, Bowman, Sally-Jo Keala-o-Anuenue

SUMMARY

When Henry Nalaielua was diagnosed with Hansen's disease in 1936 and taken from his home and family, he began a journey of exile that led him to Kalaupapa, the remote settlement with a tragic history on the Hawaiian island of Moloka'i. During its century as a virtual prison, more than 8,000 people were exiled to Kalaupapa, until the introduction of sulfone drugs in the 1940s. Today fewer than 30 patients remain. This is Henry's story, an unforgettable memoir of the boy who grew to build a full and joyous life at Kalaupapa, and still calls it home today. No Footprints in the Sand is one of only a few memoirs ever shared with the public by a Kalaupapa patient. Its intimacy and candor make it, in the words of a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet W.S. Merwin, "a rare and precious human document." Nalaielua's story is an inspiring one; despite exile, physical challenges and the severing of family ties, he has faced life (as an artist, musician and historian) with courage, honesty, hope and humor.Nalaielua, Henry Kalalahilimoku is the author of 'No Footprints in the Sand A Memoir of Kalaupapa', published 2006 under ISBN 9780977914302 and ISBN 0977914305.
