In May 1873, Father Damien De Veuster voluntarily became the first
resident clergyman and part-time physician for the leper colony on
Moloka'i's remote Kalaupapa peninsula. This volume traces the life
of Father Damien from his boyhood in rural Belgium to his death at
Kalaupapa after sixteen years of remarkable accomplishments. It
analyzes much new information about Damien and his years in
Hawai'i, giving a fuller understanding of the extent of Damien's
work at the settlement and the tensions underlying his relations
with Church bureaucrats. It is the story of one humble man with
faith in God and in himself, who faced gargantuan challenges and
triumphed.
