Description
Join Penny Foley for a discussion of Sold on a Monday by Kristina McMorris. “‘CHILDREN FOR SALE’ The sign is a last resort. It sits on a farmhouse porch in 1931, but could be found anywhere in an era of breadlines, bank runs, and broken dreams. It could have been written by any mother facing impossible choices. For struggling reporter Ellis Reed, the gut-wrenching scene evokes memories of his family’s dark past. He snaps a photograph of the children, not meant for publication; but when the picture gets published and leads to his big break, the consequences are more devastating than he ever imagined.” Inspired by an actual newspaper photograph that stunned the nation, Sold on a Monday is a powerful novel that deals with universal themes of guilt and loss. The book sold over a million copies and was on the New York Times bestseller list for five months. Come having read the book and be ready for a great discussion.
