Description
A touching account of how an individual and his family cope with the confusion, bitterness, pain and loneliness of terminal illness.
A young doctor who has devoted his life to serving leprosy patients is struck by terminal illness and finds out that he has about five years to live. He is only 40 when this diagnosis threatens to crush everything he holds so dear -- his dreams, his faith and even his own uniquely optimistic and joyous nature.
The manner in which Kumar, the doctor, converts his painful confrontation with death into a positive and healing experience is told in this warm and moving book by his wife Usha.
