My First Post

The book that I am reading is called Sold by Patricia M.This book is about a young girl being taken from her home to go away from the mountains to be sold as a prostitute,at first she was convinced that she was going away with her aunt to go help her family out as far as food and money for a new roof. But she found out that she was being pursued as a prostitute.
One thing I do not like about the book is Lakshmi was lied to and beaten because she did not want to sleep with a man she didn't know. She wanted to be with her aunt but her aunt sold her to a man who sold her again, and when Lakshmi asked what was going on the unknown man lied to her again and told her not to worry just call him her uncle husband.

So Britt, it's not that you don't like that part of the novel, it's that you don't like the situation the character was put in? If you want to explore that a bit further there's a great prompt on that list I gave out today.
