It is quality of a good story which has the color of reality in it. I found this book very exiting and Interesting. Actully it is the story of our millions of people suffering from vitiligo. It has been observe that the people having vitiligo are badly coeped by viitiligo. They feel it a punishment to wear long sleeve shirt and such wearing to hide their skin. Feel vary complex and iferior.
This story would be the sort of comfort for vitiligo people as the famour "Lee Thomas story"
And a message to these people that you are not alone but research shows that our 1 to 2 % population is suffering from it as claimed by a vitiligo site https://antivitiligo.com/
and at the end here is some info about vitiligo.
Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder in the human skin. The human skin contains special skin cells (melanocytes) that produce the pigment melanin which colors the skin.
In Vitiligo, the special skin cells (melanocytes) as well as the tissues (mucous membranes) that line the inside of the mouth, nose, genital and rectal areas, and the retina of the eyes are destroyed. As a result, white patches of skin appear on different parts of the body. The hair may also turn white that grows in areas affected by vitiligo. Vitiligo can be categorized into following
1. Localized Vitiligo: Focal pattern vitiligo, Segmental pattern vitiligo
2.Generalized Vitiligo: Acrofacial vitiligo, Vulgaris Vitiligo, Universal vitiligo
