The Sweeper Girl Elizabeth Jones

Lily is at it again. The shock of seeing a sweeper girl on a back street of Nellore, India, was just too much for her. No one should have to sweep poop off the streets. Lily has to do something, but what? No, she couldn't use her college fund. What if she grew a crop and then bought the sweeper's freedom with that? But where will she find land? Asha has a friend, Raju. He has land. But is he too high and mighty for Lily to work with? He wants her to grow rice. She wants to grow sunflowers. Then will a serious illness stop Lily from succeeding? She has to get better. Can Asha keep Raju and Lily working together? Will a tsunami destroy all Lily has worked for? Lily's adventure is just beginning.
