This novel is set during the Depression Era of 1931. A sign was in the yard where two small boys were playing that read 'Children For Sell '. This may sound cruel but times were hard in America. Everything was fine until one day the Stock Market crashed, Banks were closing, no money, no food, people out of work, long bread lines waiting for food. Families with children couldn't afford to feed them. Some parents passed their children to farmers to help with the farming. Some parents sold their children thinking it would give their children a better life. This story is about Ellis Reed, a fiction character was a newspaper reported trying to keep his job. He saw the sign and the two boys playing, he took a picture and wrote a story for the newspaper. It was a sad realistic event that blew up in his face. Ellis tries to make his wrong / right again. The story is well written, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough, it was that good. The setting, the characters and the plot was outstanding and so vivid. I recommend this book to all that want to know more about the Great Depression Era.
