Uighur (Turkic people)

YA
Persecuted by the Chinese government for their Turkic ethnicity and Muslim faith, Roshen and several other Uyghur girls are forced to leave their homes to work in a sweatshop. Roshen is overworked, underfed, and abused, but her courage is sustained by friendships and Uyghur poetry. Although characters lack depth, the girls' plight is compelling. An author's note provides some real-world context.
