Sold on a Monday by Kristina McMorris is a gripping Depression-era novel inspired by a haunting photograph, exploring the desperate choices people make to survive and the unexpected consequences that follow.
In 1931, reporter Ellis Reed takes a photograph of two children sitting on a porch beneath a sign that reads "2 Children for Sale." He never expects the photo to be published, but when it appears in the newspaper, it sparks a sensation. Suddenly, Ellis's career takes off, but the success comes with a terrible cost.
Lillian Palmer, a secretary at the newspaper, is drawn into Ellis's scheme to stage more photos to capitalize on the public's fascination. But as their deception grows, so do the real-life consequences for the families they exploit. When they discover that children are actually being sold, Ellis and Lillian must race to make things right before it's too late.
