NO ONE MUST KNOW

Coming February 2019

"No one must know..." An oath taken by every new patient at Carville. For to enter those gates, past the high chain-link fence topped with razor-sharp barbed wire, was to give up all rights as a United States citizen, and, as a human being. It meant severing all ties with the past and taking on a new name... a new identity.

The year is 1927. The future glows bright for Janae' Dubois, a 19-year-old New Orleans debutante engaged to Robert, a young medical student. Her world is one of privilege... elegant society parties, dancing 'till midnight and romantic carriage rides through the old French Quarter. But a diagnosis by a noted pathologist plunges her world into a nightmare. Leprosy! A stigma from biblical times and always spoken in fear, lepers had only one future: leave their loved ones behind and go into exile behind the barbed wire fences of Marine Hospital 66... known to the rest of the world as Carville.

And so, in order to protect her family from ruin and disgrace, Janae' Dubois enters Carville as Betty Parker and finds herself thrown into a human melting pot of professions and nationalities: lawyers, bricklayers, housewives, mistresses, Asians, Hispanics, Europeans - all sharing the same fate - all locked in despair. But dreams wouldn't die for Betty Parker. She still had Robert, and, if she carefully followed the treatments laid out for her, perhaps she could get an early discharge - then a husband and children. She was willing to fight to remain above the despair around her, unwilling to cast her lot with the rest of the "living dead." But months go by - then a year - then two years, and Betty's hopes and dreams fade then slip away as her relationship with Robert crumbles under the cruel strain of separation.

But just as one man's rejection ended her hopes, two men would forever change her destiny. Stanley Stein - a Jewish crusader for the rights of lepers who would start his own newspaper within the walls of Carville. By defying discrimination and stigma while overcoming personal tragedy, Stein shook the hallowed halls of power in Washington D.C. His was a passion for justice fueled by oppression and prejudice from the "outside world."

And Harry Martin - young, athletic, insensitive to female advances, hiding behind a wounded shell of indifference, his hurt would clash with Betty's. Together, they would discover a love undaunted by despair and disease – unmatched in courage - unconquerable in the face of persecution. It would be a love that would lead them toward the healing of their spirits, and eventually, to the cure for leprosy itself. It was a love kept in secret - a love no one must know about...
