Molokai has two very different faces. One of the smallest inhabited
Hawaiian islands, it is not well known by the outside world; many of its
residents undoubtedly enjoy the peace and quiet that comes from being overlooked.

for those afflicted with leprosy in the Hawaiian kingdom of old. Today the peninsula
is one of the most intriguing spots in all of Hawaii.
