Synopsis
When Johnny P. Harmon is 24 years old, he contracts leprosy and is sent to the Leprosarium in Carville, Louisiana. He initially thinks being confined to Carville's prison-like facility would amount to a death sentence. Instead, he becomes an advocate for the patients, creates a successful photography business and falls in love. What might have been a catastrophic diagnosis for most people, Johnny treats as a mere inconvenience. Anne Harmon Brett, Johnny's daughter, has edited her father's memoir into a book that speaks to one person's struggle to live a normal life with one of the most feared diseases in the world. Book jacket., Before there was social distancing, there was social isolation: the author's mother was confined to a leper colony for over 20 years. Her husband, Johnny P. Harmon contracted leprosy when he was 24 years old in 1935 and is sent to the National Leprosarium, a prison-like facility in Carville, Louisiana. What might have been a catastrophic diagnosis for most people, Johnny treats as little more than an inconvenience., Johnny P. Harmon, a good looking and intelligent Texan has plans to become a Texas A&M civil engineer, marry a good woman, and have a couple of kids. Without warning, he becomes a leper instead. He becomes a member of society's most feared and ostracized community. Johnny initially thinks that being confined to Carville would amount to a death sentence. Within a short time, he begins a new life for himself within the barbed wire fences of Carville. He creates a successful photography business, becomes a passionate advocate for the patients and falls in love with another patient.This memoir speaks of one person's fortitude to live the best life possible no matter what the circumstances. It speaks of determination, resilience, and courage. It is also a history of the National Leprosarium in Carville, Louisiana from 1930 to 1955 when patients were treated more like inmates in a prison than patients in a hospital. But most of all, it is a love story about two patients who were discouraged from marrying and having children by hospital authorities. The book contains 30 images of photos, paintings, cartoons and illustrations by Johnny., Before there was social distancing, there was social isolation: the author's mother was confined to a leper colony for over 20 years.

- c***r (557)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaBook exactly as specified, rapid international delivery (USA to UK), and a reasonable price for an out-of-print book. I was also very pleased and reassured by the quality of packaging for the book. It arrived in a cardboard box, and inside, it had brown paper to pad out the box, plus brown paper around the book to further protect it. This meant the book survived international shipping in great condition. On that basis, I highly recommend this seller.Hardstyle Abs: Hit Hard. Lift Heavy. Look the Part. by in New (#127042788743)
