About this listen
A picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes the story behind the picture is worth a thousand more.
2 CHILDREN FOR SALE.
In 1931, near Philadelphia, ambitious reporter Ellis Reed photographs the gut-wrenching sign posted beside a pair of siblings on a farmhouse porch. With the help of newspaper secretary Lily Palmer, Ellis writes an article to accompany the photo. Capturing the hardships of American families during the Great Depression, the feature story generates national attention and Ellis's career skyrockets.
But the piece also leads to consequences more devastating than he and Lily ever imagined - and it will risk everything they value to unravel the mystery and set things right.
Inspired by a newspaper photo that stunned readers throughout the country, Sold on a Monday is a powerful novel of ambition, redemption, love, and family.

Wonderful, unexpected story
I loved that it didn’t lean on sex, violence, or romance. It was just a really unexpected, well written story. Refreshing!

An emotionally moving story
The narration was enjoyable, the story picked up quickly and had a good cast of characters. Although some were disappointed with the ending, I wasn’t. I’d definitely recommend this book!

Enjoyable story but the ending was too predictable
Enjoyable story but I was disappointed by the predictable ending. I would have enjoyed it more if other parts had been explored more at the end.

meh
The narrator was the best part of the story. The story itself was a little dull, despite the topic. It was more about the journalists than about the children in question.

Hard to stop listening.
This book kept me on my toes wondering where it would go next. I love the characters and the lesson of things aren't always as they seem
