Daddy is going to camp. That's what I told my children. But it
wasn't camp. . . .
Neil White wanted only the best for those he loved and was
willing to go to any lengths to provide it--which is how he ended
up in a federal prison in rural Louisiana, serving eighteen months
for bank fraud. But it was no ordinary prison. The beautiful,
isolated colony in Carville, Louisiana, was also home to the last
people in the continental United States disfigured by leprosy--a
small circle of outcasts who had forged a tenacious, clandestine
community, a fortress to repel the cruelty of the outside world. In
this place rich with history, amid an unlikely mix of leprosy
patients, nuns, and criminals, White's strange and compelling new
life journey began.
An extraordinary memoir at once funny, poignant, and uplifting,
In the Sanctuary of Outcasts reminds us all what matters most.
