Sold by Patricia McCormick

Lakshmi is a thirteen year old girl living with her small, poor family in Nepal. They struggle to survive, but Lakshmi enjoys her life, dreaming of the boy she is promised to, and going to school.

After a particularly devastating monsoon wipes out the family's crops, Lakshmi's stepfather insists that she leave home and work in the city to support the family. Instead of being taken to the city to work as a maid, Lakshmi is sold into prostitution in India.
