A very good but disturbing story about a girl from Nepal forced into the sex trade in India.

This was often a tough book to read, about a 13 year old Nepali girl sold into prostitution in India. McCormick does an amazing job of describing how horribly Lakshmi is treated while also refraining from being excessively explicit. Lakshmi faces these circumstances with her mother‘s words that to endure is to triumph and never fully gives up hope.

vonnie862 I was about to borrow this book but the topic is too dark for me right now. 5mo
Daisey @vonnie862 I completely understand. Knowing it would be a fairly short read, I read just a few chapters each evening, but I never wanted to read along section at a time. 5mo
TheBookHippie Amazing read. Gets banned constantly. I always buy copies when I see them. 5mo

The tenth most banned book in America this past year is a skillfully and sensitively told story, based on interviews with real survivors, of a 13 year old Nepali girl sold by her stepfather into prostitution in India. This important, inspiring, and very moving book, published in 2006 to critical acclaim, exemplifies the words Lakshmi‘s beloved mother tells her, “Simply to endure…is to triumph,” and celebrates survival, love of learning, and hope.
