Sold, by Patricia McCormick, is an engrossing and heartwrenching story about Lakshmi, a young Nepalese girl who is sold into child prostitution by her stepfather. Lakshmi, a fictional character, was created through her extensive research and interviews with victims of sex slavery.
I have read many books and articles concerning the child sex trade; this book took a shot right at my heart and stomach. McCormick was able to smoothly weave the sorrows and hope of many of the victims she met into one unforgettable character with a powerful voice.
Whether you have just begun delving into the truth about children forced to work in brothels, or have known the truth for quite some time, this book will reach the deepest part of your soul and you will compel you to take action.
