This is an absolutely heartwrenching story about a young girl from Napal who is sold into sex slavery. It's told in the form of various poems. It was a really eye-opening story about a horrible topic. It was painful to read about the experiences of this young girl and others like her.

Powerful. Simple language, short short chapters, but packs a punch. Remember to read the chapter titles, too.
