Requests:  0 Summary:  "Victor Chin's life is turned upside down at the tender age of 15. Diagnosed with Hansen's disease, otherwise known as leprosy, he's forced to leave the familiar confines of his father's laundry business in the Bronx--the only home he's known since emigrating from China with his older brother--to quarantine alongside patients from all over the country at a federal institution in Carville. At first, Victor is scared not only of the disease, but of the confinement, and wants nothing more than to flee. Between treatments he dreams of escape and imagines his life as a fugitive. But soon he finds a new sense of freedom far from home--one without the pull of obligations to his family, or the laundry business, or his mother back in China. Here, in the company of an unforgettable cast of characters, Victor finds refuge in music and experiences first love, jealousy, betrayal, and even tragedy. But with the promise of a life-changing cure on the horizon, Victor's time at Carville is running out, and he has some difficult choices to make"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Chin-Tanner Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Chin-Tanner Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Chin-Tanner Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Chin-Tanner Checked out 05/22/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Chin-Tanner Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
