    About this ebook

    Sold on a Monday: A Novel by Kristina McMorris | Conversation Starters


    In 1931, a mother wrote the sign: Children for Sale on their farmhouse porch. It is her last resort. During this time, this sign could be found anywhere. There were endless bank runs, breadlines, and broken dreams. The sign meant that the mother faced impossible choices between her children and their welfare. Ellis Reed was a struggling reporter during this time. When she saw this gut-wrenching scene, memories of his family's dark past were awakened within him. He takes photographs of these children that were not meant to be publicized. However, these photographs led to the biggest break in his career. The consequences of this proved to be more devastating than he has foreseen. Lillian Palmer is part of everything that happened at the paper. She is haunted with the familiar heartbreak of these unwanted children. When challenges tested the bonds of motherhood, Lillian and Ellis need to decide how much risk they can take to mend the wounds in their family. Kristina McMorris’ Sold on a Monday is inspired by a real newspaper photograph that shocked the nation. This bestselling novel shows the power of love, forgiveness, redemption and what paths we need to take that will bring us home.

      Introducing Sold on a Monday

      D

      URING THE GREAT DEPRESSION, AMERICA EXPERIENCED THE MOST devastating economic depression that changed the landscape of the nation for almost a decade. Millions of men became unemployed. Because they were breadwinners, their families starved and fended for food in other ways. Children were malnourished. Some men and women contracted tuberculosis disease. This is the backdrop of Kristina McMorris’s bestselling novel Sold on a Monday. This novel is made up of forty-two chapters that would periodically shift their perspective in order to follow the story of the two main characters throughout the narrative. The story follows Ellis Reed and Lily Palmer. The novel opens on their trek through New Jersey. With them were two children whom they will reunite with their mother. Their accidental separation resulted from a very unfortunate series of events.

      Ambitious reporter Ellis Reed was writing for the Society section of the Philadelphia Examiner.  One Sunday afternoon, Ellis comes across two young boys sitting on their farmhouse porch. As an avid scenery photographer, Ellis takes a photo of these boys before he realized that they were sitting beside a sign that read 2 Children for Sale. Ellis was heartbroken because of his discovery. The children were very innocent with what the sign meant about them and their future. This led Ellis to want to help them with anything that he can, but he does not know if there is anything in his power that he can
