You must read this book! It is so beautifully written and such a powerful story; I read this book in three hours and was weeping at the end -- partly because of the story and partly because of how well it was written.
Lakshmi is a young girl coming of age in Nepal. After a monsoon that destroys most everything they own, Lakshmi's stepfather sells her into prostitution in India. This is the story of how Lakshmi survives . . .
I read this book right after watching Slumdog Millionaire, and the first thing I thought was that this could be Latima's story. Even though McCormick is an American author, the global issue of human trafficking makes it a good choice for World Literature.
