A few days later, Primrose finally received the news she had been waiting for.
Unfortunately, it was not good news.
The Holan Tribe had refused to talk things out peacefully. Instead, they had chosen to fight back and that was not even the worst part.
Solene's investigation had uncovered something far more disturbing: Pippa was not the first child they had sold.
Over the years, several children had been secretly sold by the younger generation of the Holan Tribe. They wanted money, and after hearing stories about life outside the tribe, some of them had begun to dream about living in town and enjoying the things money could buy.
Therefore, they sold their own children to get it.
What bothered Primrose the most was how little they seemed to care about what happened afterward.
They never asked where the children were taken.
They never tried to find out whether those children ended up in warm homes with enough food to eat or somewhere far worse.
