This beautiful novella is well-written, has a sweet story, and a solid message. It ministered to me in my own battle with a painful physical disorder.

The leper was a wonderful, moving story set in England in the 1800s. I couldn't put it down. My daughters ages 16 and 13 read it within the next two days and both loved the story also. It portrays the power of love which can enable people to change.

beautifully written and simply told. I read it in one night! I highly recommend this book. It is one to pass on as a gift...and keep a copy on hand as well.

I found this plot amazing. I wasn't sure if i wanted to read such a sad and depressing book, even right in the start of the book. I was angry at some spots and amused at others. This book is very easy reading. I liked the ending a lot. It was a complete ending, you felt good at the end. I am glad Sigmund Brouwer gave the book this ending.

Nathaniel contracted leprosy while serving in the British Army in India in the middle 1800's. Rather then expose his family to his disease; he secludes himself from the world. But when he finds a baby girl, how will her unconditional love change his out look on his life?

This novella is a quick read. I got through it in a couple hours one evening. But that doesn't make it any less powerful. Sigmund Brouwer has created a cast of characters that need the love of God, and works them through their problems. The ending had me in tears.

Anyone looking for a good story that will move you while making you rethink your own priorities need look no further. This powerful little book is must reading.
