I took this book to empathise with child laborers and the clients of their labour. It made me reflect on my views of humanity, how to take action. This book was a personal insight into being born in a situation where your future is a second thought and comes after you have escaped the system that ties you to poverty, unless you donate all the labor you have to give until you die. This book gave an insight into the atrociously inhumane treatments neoliberalism has created. I understand Madame's fear and distance, being afraid of touching Kathy's cheek. Just as I may struggle to understand a 12 year old suffering, me knowing that he would not have my future of possibilities this book is hopeful
