Thirteen-year-old Kyra has grown up in an isolated community without questioning the fact that her father has three wives and she has twenty brothers and sisters. Or at least without questioning them much--if you don't count her secret visits to the Mobile Library on Wheels to read forbidden books, or her meetings with the boy she hopes to choose for herself. But when the Prophet decrees that Kyra must marry her 60-year-old uncle--who already has six wives--Kyra must make a desperate choice in the face of violence and her own fears of losing her family.What SL teens are saying about the book...
"A realistic story about a young girl's dream to be independent."--Liane Y.
"After I finished I felt my heart ache from the burden of what Kyra was feeling."--Yena L.
