Immerse yourself in the glittering world of 1920s Hollywood, where Mirielle West, a socialite married to a silent film star, relishes in a life of luxury. However, this opulent world shatters when a mere pale patch of skin on her hand results in her being branded a leper and exiled far away to the Carville Leper Home in Louisiana. Forced to take a new name to protect her family and husband from the associated shame, Mirielle's reality becomes one of isolation and helplessness. This is the story of her transformation within the confines of the lepers' home—a sanctuary and a prison all at once. Stripped of her former status, she must redefine her worth and discover resilience deep within. Amanda Skenandore employs her expertise as a registered nurse to vividly bring to life the chilling details of the patients' and health workers' struggles at Carville, delivering a poignant narrative that resonates with a contemporary audience through the lens of a historical health crisis in America.
