JOHN GRISHAM  A wonderfully bizarre and entertaining memoir of jailhouse redemption--by turns hilarious, astonishing and, when all is said and done, deeply moving. JOHN BERENDT, AUTHOR OF MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL  Neil White was once was a man who lived by appearances - he owned the most expensive cars and biggest house, and worked at the glossiest magazines. But his bank balance couldn't keep up with his lifestyle, so he started kiting - illegally depositing and drawing cheques between his two accounts. He got caught and was sent to prison. But not to just any prison - he was taken to the one place on earth where appearances meant absolutely nothing: one of the last leper colonies in the world.   The experience transformed him completely: the man who lived to impress became a man who could look beyond the surface of things in order to tap into the deeper, more important issues that run our lives: friendship, compassion, self-respect. Along the way he met some of the most unbelievable people on the planet, all of whom have their own poignant, painful, funny stories- the last chronicles of a community that's now all but disappeared, but still resonates.  A journey which combines a slice of history with self-discovery, In the Sanctuary of Outcasts is both beautifully written and utterly compelling.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44105415033051,"sku":"9781741965476-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9781741965476-us-300.jpg?v=1684204834","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781741965476-secondhand-in-the-sanctuary-of-outcasts-a-memoir","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
