Sold

I just finished the book Sold, by Patricia McCormick.  It's about a girl from Nepal who is sold into the sex trade in India.  Scout is reading it in preparation for her mission trip. 
While this is a book written for teenagers, and therefore not as graphic as it could be, I still mourn the loss of innocence as Scout's world becomes uglier with the knowledge that these horrors are reality for millions of children worldwide.  And I ache for the children caught in such a terrible life.  And I pray that somehow this sacrifice of my daughter's view of the world will be used for God's glory.
