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.

The book would be more interesting, I think, if its resolution didn’t hinge on white saviourism… also gave this a “graphic” rape tag, because the main character is a child and describes it happening during and after.
