Summary: Sold by Patricia McCormick

I think that Mumtaz is lying to Lakshmi about letting her live.  I believe that Mumtaz will lock Lakshmi's door, corner her, then threaten to kill her with an object, and then Lakshmi will be forced to be with men.  I think after this she will be with as many men as possible until she has been payed enough money to leave Happiness House.  I believe this is what will happen because Mumtaz seems to cruel to let Lakshmi go.  Also I believe Lakshmi will be with as many men as possible because she is a determined girl and will do anything just to see Ama again.
