Jillian Haslam uses her story and her voice to speak for the poor and powerless in her heart-wrenching memoir which begins in the slums of Calcutta where she and her family are forced to live after British colonization ended.




At the age of eight Haslam first used her stubborn will to never give up, when she stood for hours at a tea shop, begging for a ladle of milk to keep her newborn sister from dying of starvation.




By the time the reader finishes this book, they will wonder how someone so young could find the strength and tenacity to survive so much.


I give A Voice Out of Poverty five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!
