The book chronicles the author’s experiences while working among lepers in India, focusing on their struggles and the efforts to alleviate their suffering. It sheds light on the lives of these marginalized individuals, emphasizing the need for compassion and reform in their treatment. At the start of the book, Mrs. Hayes reflects on her journey to India with her husband, where she becomes increasingly aware of the hardships faced by lepers. Her initial visits to a leper asylum leave her profoundly impacted; she details the pitiful living conditions and the lack of proper care.
