About this product

Product Information

The powerful, poignant, bestselling National Book Award finalist gives voice to a young girl robbed of her childhood yet determined to find the strength to triumph. Lakshmi is a thirteen-year-old girl who lives with her family in a small hut on a mountain in Nepal. Though she is desperately poor, her life is full of simple pleasures, like playing hopscotch with her best friend from school, and having her mother brush her hair by the light of an oil lamp. But when the harsh Himalayan monsoons wash away all that remains of the family's crops, Lakshmi's stepfather says she must leave home and take a job to support her family. He introduces her to a glamorous stranger who tells her she will find her a job as a maid in the city. Glad to be able to help, Lakshmi journeys to India and arrives at "Happiness House" full of hope. But she soon learns the unthinkable truth: she has been sold into prostitution. An old woman named Mumtaz rules the brothel with cruelty and cunning. She tells Lakshmi that she is trapped there until she can pay off her family's debt-then cheats Lakshmi of her meager earnings so that she can never leave. Lakshmi's life becomes a nightmare from which she cannot escape. Still, she lives by her mother's words- Simply to endure is to triumph -and gradually, she forms friendships with the other girls that enable her to survive in this terrifying new world. Then the day comes when she must make a decision-will she risk everything for a chance to reclaim her life? Written in spare and evocative vignettes by the co-author of I Am Malala (Young Readers Edition) , this powerful novel renders a world that is as unimaginable as it is real, and a girl who not only survives but triumphs.

    A compelling, well researched issue that's of international concern

    Written from the first person perspective, the author propels the reader into the dangerous, cruel world of sex slavery. The 12 year old girl is subjected to horrors no one should feel in an unknown culture from which she must dissociate or die. Gripping! I fought between reading on or putting it down.

    A moving and sad story about betrayal by family and the loss of innocence. A young girl is sold by her family to work for an auntie, in the 'big city'. In her childish innocence, the character has no way of comprehending what vile abuse of her young body await her. A good read for anyone who wants reality to touch their life. We are so sheltered in the West, it is hard to understand how this still happens daily in many countries. I would recommend this book.
