Most people haven't heard of Betty White's Miracle at Carville.

It's the autobiography of a Southern debutante in Louisiana who contracted Hansen's disease. She is sent to a leper colony and spends the next 20 years there.

Copies of the book are quite expensive on Amazon but I was able to obtain it as an interlibrary loan.

The Internet Archive also has it available for lending.
