description: From Dust Jacket This moving and heart-rending story is a portrait of human misery and human courage. You may forget that its setting is mainly a Burmese leper colony, but the story - and the question it raises - linger with you. In a sense this is the biography of Father Cesar Columbo, and Italian priest, a PIME missionary, who unselfishly cared for the lepers and sought to bring hope to hopelessness. But it focuses our attention on a forgotten segment of humanity - and these unfortunate human beings are the center of the story . . . And should be the cause of our concern. If we cannot care for the wretched of the earth today, there is little use in dreaming of a better world tomorrow.
