Letters are a fascinating way of telling a story and    sharing the journey of a life. In her book, “Letters From the Land of Long  Farewells,” Sister Wilma Halmasy tells of the daily life of the Sisters of St. Francis  and the patients at the settlement of Kalaupapa, Molokai in Hawaii where those  suffering from leprosy lived in isolation from 1866 to 1949.

Sister Wilma spent 30 years in Kalaupapa following in the footsteps of Blessed Mother Marianne Cope and St. Damien de Veuster. This book is a delightful depiction of how Sister Wilma handled both distressful and sometimes amusing situations. You will be inspired, not only by her courage, but also by the courage of those serving with her on the isolated Kalaupapa peninsula. Photos capture the beauty of the island and the life of the sisters.
