THE LIBRARIAN SOUL

McCormick‘s has done a remarkable job addressing the many social ills affecting young women with this novel, Sold.  This story takes place in the Himalayan Mountains of India, where poverty is a way of life for most families.  In this story, a 13 years old girl is unknowingly sold into prostitution by her stepfather. She endures great pain and sorrow at “Happiness House” yet she remains optimistic. This story is heartbreaking and raw—true to life. Definitely, a great read for reluctant readers.  Realistic fiction.
