The demons in my head
only fuel
my passion to write.

My safe haven
from everything
that sets me apart
from this life.

Fragments 

Writing is like silence unraveling, showing its true colors. A moment when you see a refection of yourself, where you are able to connect deep within yourself.
And writing can also help you see the truth when you don’t want to see it, nor realize it. 

Set somewhere in the far East. This is the story of Lu SI Yan who comes from a fairly poor family. After some awful events, her Uncle takes charge and takes her to market to be sold as a servant to a rich family. The story gives you her background and her ordeal of being taken away from her family and sold, it then follows her as she becomes first a servant and then a factory worker.  It's a very sad story and a little sinister in places. Dealing with issues like slavery and child workers (exploitation). it could lead to some interesting discussions. There is a sense of place and the language would extend children's vocabulary. A very accessible read as it's not too long and fairly large print. 

Suitable for Yr 6+ (not younger due to some references to flirting and minor sexual intonations)
