In Sold, Patricia McCormick writes about a thirteen year old girl, Lakshmi, who was sold into the sex trade. McCormick describes the struggles and sacrifices Lakshmi faced while trying to help support her family. On her way to the city to look for a job, Lakshmi was taken advantage of and found herself trapped as a child prostitute. The novel Sold describes how Lakshmi found her way in and out of the dark. This book explains how the love of family can give you the will to survive.
do you think Lakshmi would have been able to stay strong as the life of a child sex trade if she didnt have the love and support of her family? I dont think that Lakshmi would have been able to get through without the thought of getting back to her family and making sure they were healthy and safe.
