The Second Life of Miriel West
14.99 €
A gripping story of courage, resilience, and redefining life, set in 1920s Los Angeles, based on the true story of America's only leper colony. When a doctor diagnoses leprosy in wealthy and self-centered socialite Miriel West, she thinks it's just a mistake. After all, such a disease is only found in the pages of books or magazines! But overnight, her life changes: she is taken away from her husband, her young daughters and all the comforts to which she is accustomed. At first she hopes her exile will be short-lived, but those sent to Carville, a leprosarium in Louisiana, are more like prisoners than patients. Now she must find a new purpose within these walls, fighting an unchosen fate. She will face all stages of the inevitable, from denial to acceptance, new experiences and change. For even in the darkest of circumstances there is light and life.
