This episode is the first of a four-part series surrounding the National Leprosarium in Carville, Louisiana. The Daughters of Charity are tied to the facility by having lived and ministered there for over 100 years. Our guest today, Wendy Chin-Tanner, is tied to the facility by her father having lived and been treated there for 9 years. Wendy has written a historical fiction novel, titled King of the Armadillos, based loosely on her dad's experience. Today, we dive into the book, her dad's history, and the impact of the Daughters at Carville and set the scene for the other three episodes to come!
