(“Two Hearts, One Fire” is an eminently readable collectio...)
“Two Hearts, One Fire” is an eminently readable collection of human interest accounts, often amusing, and sometimes poignant, of life in Jamaica, British West Indies, from the hitherto unpublished collections of an Army Medic, and the heart-to-heart experiences of a missionary Sister with her leprosy patients, as gleaned from the letters of the Nun to her community back home in the United States. Neither the Sergeant nor the Nun had any idea that their brief encounters at the old Leper’s Home had any particular significance for the future, or even that their paths would cross again. The war over, the Sergeant, looking for help in the fulfillment of a promise he had made to himself to provide personally-inscribed gifts at Christmas for the leprosy patients he could not forget, rallied his family and friends to the cause. Seeking advice, he decided to visit the Massachusetts headquarters of the Marist Missionary Sisters who staffed the leprosarium in Jamaica. There he again encountered the Nun who was back home for medical attention. She was allowed to help him in his project -- a joining of efforts which today flourishes as the Damien-Dutton Society for Leprosy Aid. As the Society’s horizons expanded, so did its membership and its world recognition. Five decades later it was not only “two hearts, one fire” but thousands upon thousands of generous hearts afire with the need to alert the public to the unique problem of a much maligned, much misunderstood leprosy affliction, known today as Hansen’s Disease.

(A dramatic story of two self-imposed exiles: Father Damie...)
A dramatic story of two self-imposed exiles: Father Damien, a Belgian priest, and Brother Joseph Dutton, a Yankee soldier from Stowe, Vermont. They brought love, concern and care for the victims of leprosy who were tossed on the island of Molokai to fend for themselves. Dutton spent 44 years caring for the young boys and the men, giving them a sense of self-reliance, dignity and confidence. This book is written for the young reader who hopefully will be inspired to emulate these two heroes in bringing compassion and concern to the unfortunates of the world.
