Hawaï, 1892. Rachel Kalama, jeune fille de sept ans à l'esprit vif et malicieux, rêve de visiter des contrées lointaines comme son père, un officier de la marine marchande. Jusqu'au jour où une tache rosâtre apparaît sur sa peau et que ses rêves s'envolent. Atteinte de la lèpre, la petite Rachel est arrachée à son foyer et à sa famille, et envoyée à Kalaupapa, campement de quarantaine installé sur l'île de Moloka'i où elle sera confinée jusqu'à l'âge adulte. Entourée de malades, Rachel devra se forger une existence, bien différente de celle qu'elle avait prévue. La résilience et l'entraide l'aideront à surmonter le déracinement, l'ostracisme et la perte. Débordant de chaleur, d'humour, de compassion, et fort d'une galerie de personnages inoubliables, ce chef-d'oeuvre nous dévoile un peuple qui, face à la terrible réalité de la mort, a choisi la vie.--[Memento].
