It’s a quite challenging book to read and pretty graphic, but the story I feel is something people need to hear that don’t quite understand how bad the world is in some areas but how there are still good people as well

I'm very excited to use this book in a class that reflects on our society today through literature. Despite its sad subject matter, it is a topic worth bringing awareness to.

The tenth most banned book in America this past year is a skillfully and sensitively told story, based on interviews between real survivors and the white American author, of a 13 year old Nepali girl sold by her stepfather into prostitution in India. This important, inspiring, and incredibly moving book, published in 2006 to critical acclaim, exemplifies the words Lakshmi’s beloved mother tells her, “Simply to endure…is to triumph,” and celebrates survival, love of learning, and hope.

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.
