There are many books about Molokai, Kalaupapa, Damien and the exiled souls he served. We have scoured the online book sources and find that some books are available on Borders Books and Barnes & Noble. However, amazon.com seems to have supplies when the others don't. So, we've located our suggested books on Amazon to make them easy to find.
