Sold by Patricia McCormick

This book, is absolutely mind blowing. It is written in first person and it is a true story, however the girl its written about is not the author. I do not cry when reading(or even watching movies)really ever. But i found tears running down my eyes in this book. Just to see all of the things this young girl, even younger than me, had to go through at such a young age really touched me. I didn't even know how huge the issue of sex trafficking still is, even in America. The book made me really look into sex trafficking in my own country and i've found out that my state is one of the worst in the US. I recommend this book to anyone over the age of like 13. There are some descriptions of men forcing themselves upon her, but it really is a must read. Sold will open your eyes to a world you've been trying to shut out your whole life, probably without even knowing it existed.
