This isn't my typical type of book at all. But I work with a facility that once used to be a TB retreat in PA so the summary caught my attention.

I listened to this as a book on CD, again, because it wasn't my normal type of story to choose.

I was fascinated with the story though, and enjoyed it more than I expected to. However, my only complaint is that the ending was a bit disappointing. There was no clear conclusions made by the end and it was sort of left hanging. None of the characters seemed to have a clear cut ending written.

Leo was a very endearing character and you get pulled into his story and the troubles that follow him and the unfairness of the way things were back then.
