Lakshmi se ha separado de su familia y camina hacia la ciudad. Aún desconoce que allí no trabajará de criada en una casa rica para enviar dinero a su familia. Aún desconoce que tendrá que hacer cosas horribles con hombres horribles para poder sobrevivir. Lakshmi imagina leche y azucar para su familia. Aun desconoce que las cosas no son siempre como se imaginan.

La Lakshmi té tretze anys i viu en una barraca a la falda d'una muntanya del Nepal. Un dia, el padrastre li diu que ja és prou gran per anar a treballar de serventa a la ciutat, i a canvi d'una quantitat de diners la confia a una dona. Després d'un llarg viatge, la Lakshmi arriba a l'Índia, i la porten al lloc on ha de treballar, una casa plena de nenes com ella, la mestressa de la qual és una dona anomenada Mumtaz. La Lakshmi de seguida descobreix que la seva feina no consisteix a netejar, sinó a prostituir-se. Al principi s'hi nega, però la Mumtaz la tracta amb molta crueltat i finalment la Lakshmi s'adona que no té cap altre remei que estar amb homes. Així comença la seva estada a la Casa de la Felicitat, un bordell de Calcuta.

Va aprendre a defensar les seves conviccions i va lluitar pel seu dret a lensenyament. El nou doctubre del 2012 gairebe va perdre la vida per aquesta causa: li van disparar a boca de cano quan tornava a casa amb lautobus de lescola. Ningu no sesperava que sobrevisques.

Toby Malone looks up to his brother Jake. Everyone does. He is the cool one, the one who is good at baseball. Even Mr. Furry, the unfortunately named family cat, seems to prefer him to everyone else. Toby and Jake and their little brother have always had an easy, jostling friendship, in which it is them against the rest of the world. But ever since Toby`s father left, things have been off balance. Toby`s mother seems deflated and resigned. And his little brother is exhibiting odd signs of stress. Toby struggles to keep his family together even as things are falling apart. Despite his efforts, though, Jake is drifting farther and farther away, and Toby knows it is because he is becoming increasingly dependent on drugs. Toby tries to cover up for Jake, to spare his mother yet another disappointment. But his attempts to protect Jake and his mother backfire, only adding to the growing tension between the brothers+until Jake finally goes much too far. With great warmth and wry humor, Patricia McCormick draws a portrait of a typical family that is struggling to reconnect after a crisis.
