Good story. Kept me interested. Set at a different time than the photo that inspired its writing. What people will do when they are desperate.

Every sentence in this story is justified or explained by the author. Nothing is left for the reader to decipher. At first the basis of the story held my attention, but so much was either contrived or too predictable. I’m shocked that the book was rated well.

I had looked forward to reading Sold on a Monday after reading what the book was about. I didn't get very far into the story before there was mild profanity. Realizing that it came from the main character, I figured there would be more profanity throughout the story. Needless to say, the book ended up in my trash can.

Quality and condition of book is as described or better. Content is thought providing using historical fiction as vehicle. Title and cover illustration are a grabber but story does not focus on children but on the newspaper staff.

Enjoyed reading the book very much. I was born during that time and, thank goodness, my parents never thought of selling me!!!
