This is a fictionalized account of an Indian girl who was sold by her father at the age of nine to a sexual predator. Her life as a child prostitute is haunting and horrifying, with her only escape the writing she does in her blue notebook. Ironically, her writing is also the cause of her greatest terrorism at the end of this book. Levine is to be applauded for this foray into a world that many would prefer not to acknowledge. Be certain that the sexual trafficking of children does exist and is not isolated to fiction or to "other" countries. We are all responsible for saving these children from a heart-breaking existence at the hands of any country's most reprehensible criminals.
