Synopsis:  This book is a collection of first-hand stories about the lives of leprosy patients, containing an aspect that official history has never touched upon. Told by two generations, the stories reflect the great impact that the segregation policy has had on the patients’ family. It tells about the pain, injustice and the hope of families affected by leprosy, including the agonising wait of parents wishing to be reunited with children who had been taken away at birth, heartfelt reunions and tales of children seeking their parents, be it alive or dead.
