Nice, Sweet Story

This is a sweet, simple inspirational true story about Margaret,who was banished at the age of 12 to the leprosy colony on the island of Molokai in Hawaii. It follows her hardships from the time of growing up on the island of Hawaii with an alcoholic father and abusive stepmother to life on the island with a series of three husbands, all of whom died from leprosy, to her return to the big island decades later after her disease was arrested, only to face repeated rejection and life in one of the worst housing projects on the island. Everywhere she goes she manages to make lemonade of the lemons life throws at her. With the help of some special people, she manages to retain her optimism and deep faith in God, and to touch many people's lives in a positive way.
