    The Follow Up: Banned Books with Patty McCormick

    Patricia McCormick is an acclaimed author of young adult novels. Her 2006 book, "Sold," tells the story of a 13-year-old Nepalese girl who is sold into sexual slavery by her stepfather. Despite being named a National Book Finalist, in 2025 "Sold" was the most banned book in the country, according to the American Library Association. In this installment of "The Follow Up," McCormick, who lives in Sag Harbor, joins the Express News Group to talk about the current book banning trends as well as the issue of sex trafficking, which was the subject of a recent panel discussion that McCormick moderated at The Church in Sag Harbor. Spoiler alert: the East End is not immune.
