Carol Lynch Williams

In a polygamous cult in the desert, Kyra, not yet fourteen, sees being chosen to be the seventh wife of her uncle as just punishment for having read books and kissed a boy, in violation of Prophet Childs' teachings, and is torn between facing her fate and running away from all that she knows and loves.

A speedy read, I gobbled through this in an hour or two. It was exciting, fascinating, and it was kind of like Big Love in book form in that there are the prophet baddies (the 'god squad') and then Kyra's family who are a good, loving family. 3.5 stars!

I read this book in one day because it was so difficult to put down. It's horrifying and heartbreaking!! She keeps it PG, well as PG as you can keep the subject matter of a polygamist cult, but it's still so sobering. Definitely not a light or carefree read, but feels important.
