About Sold on a Monday by Kristina McMorris
Set amid the economic hardship of 1931, Sold on a Monday is historical fiction inspired by an actual newspaper photograph that stunned readers across the country. The image shows young siblings offered for sale on a farmhouse porch, a stark record of desperation and impossible choices.
Reporter Ellis Reed takes the photograph, while secretary Lillian Palmer sees more in it than a compelling story. Drawn together by the image, they try to right a wrongdoing and mend a fractured family, with consequences for what they value. Readers interested in historical fiction about journalism, moral choices, and the human stories behind a striking news image may find this novel especially engaging.
