Una inolvidable novela de ficción histórica de la autora bestseller Kristina McMorris, inspirada en un impactante momento histórico en tiempos de la gran depresión en Estados Unidos.
2 NIÑOS A LA VENTA. El letrero es el último recurso. Descansa en el porche de una granja en 1931, pero podrìa estar en cualquier lado en una época de comedores populares, pánico bancario y sueños rotos. Pudo haber sido escrito por cualquier madre enfrentada a decisiones imposibles.
Para el reportero Ellis Reed, que ha visto mejores tiempos, la desgarradora escena evoca recuerdos del pasado oscuro de su familia. Toma una foto de los niños, que no pretende publicar. Pero cuando lo conduce a un gran éxito, las consecuencias son más devastadoras de lo que hubiera podido imaginar.
Inspirada en una fotografìa de prensa real que impactó a la nación, Niños a la venta es una poderosa novela de amor, redención y los inesperados caminos que nos llevan a casa.
La emotiva novela histórica de Kristina McMorris capturará a los lectores de Los cuatro vientos, de Kristin Hannah, y Las mujeres de la casa de las lilas, de Martha Hall Kelly, y será fuente de inspiración en cualquier club de lectura.
"A pesar de lo delicado del tema de los niños perdidos, lo último de McMorris es conmovedor y nada sentimentalista. Este libro gustará a los lectores de Antes de que fuéramos tuyos, de Lisa Wingate." -Booklist

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WITH MORE THAN A MILLION COPIES SOLD-Sold on a Monday is the unforgettable book-club phenomenon, inspired by a stunning piece of Depression-era history.
"A masterpiece that poignantly echoes universal themes of loss and redemption...both heartfelt and heartbreaking."-Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Orphan's Tale
An unforgettable bestselling historical fiction novel by Kristina McMorris, inspired by a stunning piece of history from Depression--Era America.
2 CHILDREN FOR SALE. The sign is a last resort. It sits on a farmhouse porch in 1931, but could be found anywhere in an era of breadlines, bank runs and broken dreams. It could have been written by any mother facing impossible choices.
For struggling reporter Ellis Reed, the gut-wrenching scene evokes memories of his family's dark past. He snaps a photograph of the children, not meant for publication. But when it leads to his big break, the consequences are more devastating than he ever imagined.
Inspired by an actual newspaper photograph that stunned the nation, Sold on a Monday has celebrated five months on the New York Times bestsellers list and continues to especially captivate fans of Lisa Wingate's Before We Were Yours and Kristin Hannah's The Four Winds.
"Despite the sensitivity of the subject of missing children, McMorris' latest is touching and never maudlin. This book may appeal to fans of Lisa Wingate's Before We Were Yours." - Booklist
Look for the new novel by Kristina McMorris, The Ways We Hide, a sweeping World War II tale of an illusionist whose recruitment by British intelligence sets her on a perilous, heartrending path.
