This is my favorite book of the week. What I like most about Patricia McCormick's story of thirteen year old Lakshmi is that unfortunately it happens everyday. Lakshmi is unwittingly(?) sold into a life of prostitution in a brothel in Calcutta, India. This is a heartbreaking story of a young girl who is forced to grow up way to fast. What is most interesting about this book is the research the author did. She traveled to India and Nepal to interview girls who had escaped slavery. Reading this book made me feel fortunate for the freedoms in my life. READ IT! or don't
