Story
Anna is distraught when her beloved mother, Ines, passes away. She inherits a box of papers, handwritten in Italian and yellowed with age, and a tantalizing promise that the truth about what happened during the war lies within. The diaries lead Anna to the small village of Rofelle, where she slowly starts to heal as she explores sun-kissed olive groves, and pieces together her mother’s past: happy days spent herding sheep across Tuscan meadows cruelly interrupted when World War Two erupted and the Nazis arrived....

Story
Barbara was 12 when she was admitted to the psychiatric hospital Aston Hall in 1971. From a troubled home, she'd hoped she would find sanctuary there. But during her stay, Barbara was systematically drugged and abused by its head physician, Dr Kenneth Milner. Somehow, eventually, she started to campaign for answers. This is a shocking account of how vulnerable children were preyed upon by the doctor entrusted with their care.

It is the summer of 1940. Nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris arrives in New York with her suitcase and sewing machine, exiled by her despairing parents. Although her quicksilver talents with a needle and commitment to mastering the perfect hair roll have been deemed insufficient for her to pass into her sophomore year of Vassar, she soon finds gainful employment as the self-appointed seamstress at the Lily Playhouse, her unconventional Aunt Peg's charmingly disreputable Manhattan revue theatre.

At 29, Alison Marshall is ready to find a place to call home. With no family and no ties, she’s drifted from one small Florida town to another since high school, working odd jobs, saving hard, and building a nest egg. Once she finds the right place to settle down, she’ll know. And when she reaches beautiful Palmetto Island, she thinks she may have found it. The small, close-knit island community seems to have everything Alison needs. On a hunch, she contacts the island’s only realtor, and learns that an old beach house is on the market.

When the dispatcher asked for her address, the girl hesitated. "I've never been out," she stammered.

Story
1941. Audrey Coltrane has always wanted to fly. It's why she implored her father to teach her at the little airfield back home in Texas. It’s why she signed up to train military pilots in Hawaii when the war in Europe began. And it’s why she insists she is not interested in any dream-derailing romantic involvements, even with the disarming Lieutenant James Hart, who fast becomes a friend as treasured as the women with whom she flies. Then one fateful day, she gets caught in the air over Pearl Harbor just as the bombs begin to fall, and suddenly, nowhere feels safe.

Publisher's Summary
A picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes the story behind the picture is worth a thousand more.
2 CHILDREN FOR SALE.
In 1931, near Philadelphia, ambitious reporter Ellis Reed photographs the gut-wrenching sign posted beside a pair of siblings on a farmhouse porch. With the help of newspaper secretary Lily Palmer, Ellis writes an article to accompany the photo. Capturing the hardships of American families during the Great Depression, the feature story generates national attention and Ellis's career skyrockets.
But the piece also leads to consequences more devastating than he and Lily ever imagined - and it will risk everything they value to unravel the mystery and set things right.
Inspired by a newspaper photo that stunned readers throughout the country, Sold on a Monday is a powerful novel of ambition, redemption, love, and family.

meh
The narrator was the best part of the story. The story itself was a little dull, despite the topic. It was more about the journalists than about the children in question.

Not what I anticipated...
The cover of this book is what drew me in. I was hoping it would be a riveting story like 'Before We Were Yours', given the summary and subject matter. However, it took 12 chapters for anything all that interesting to happen. If I hadn't chosen this to be our book of the month for our book club, I'm not sure I would have been all that interested in continuing with it. The story did eventually pick up, but there were some far fetched plot lines toward the end that didn't seem very realistic. Also, the audible file shows 44 chapters but ended at 39. This was also very misleading, as I was expecting more to the story. All in all the book was okay, but not one I would recommend to others. Especially given the really slow build and abrupt end. Rather disappointing, actually.

More of an after school special than historical fiction
This book was fine if you are interested in a very light and predictable plot. There were extremely few details structured around any history, more the use of everyday knowledge of prohibition to host the setting. I learned as much from it as I would a show on the Hallmark channel.

Was hoping for a story focusing primarily on the children sold during the Great Depression. Instead, The main subjects of the reporters took center stage. A descent book for a long road trip . .

Predictable and uninteresting
This book was just okay. I didn't really care about any of the characters that much and the plot line got more and more predictable as it went on. It wasn't difficult to get through, but it also wasn't a book that, I was anxious to get another moment to pick it up

eh! so much promise, so little fulfilled
engaging plot but too many holes and lack of character development to maintain interest. I finished it but only because this was a pick for my book club. may request a refund of my audible credit and am very unlikely to read another book by this author.

Excellent storytelling
Kristina McMorris has crafted an excellent story of heartache, the power of an image, and desperate times. Ellis Reed is a reporter and photographer for the Philadelphia Examiner. On his way back from an assignment, a sign catches his eye, "2 Children for Sale" and two young boys sitting in front of a house. He snaps a photo of them, one he never intended to see in print, but it's found by the paper's secretary Lily Palmer. She shows it to the editor, and he wants the story. Another photo is taken, the truth gets a little stretched, and Lily and Ellis find themselves in a moral dilemma. I could not stop listening to this story. I had to find out what happened. The story is told from both Lily and Ellis' POV. The narrator is a male, Brian Hutchison, and I think that was an excellent choice. It gives the story a little bit more of the male perspective, a 1930's reporter feel, and Brian does well telling the story with his expressive and thoughtful voice. A must read/listen for anyone who has ever tried to uncover the truth.
