Publisher's noteRaised in an isolated polygamous community where she secretly reads mobile library books and wonders about her father's three wives and her twenty siblings, thirteen-year-old Kyra is forced to make a desperate choice when she is selected to be her sixty-year-old uncle's seventh wife. AnnotationOne of 20 children, 13-year-old Kyra lives with her father and three mothers on a polygamous compound that follows the word of the Prophet. Longing to experience the outside world, reading forbidden books, and having a crush is as daring as Kyra has been until she is put in a terrible situation. The Prophet declares that she has been chosen to be her aged uncle's seventh wife. Desperate to make her own way in life, Kyra must make the choice between her community, the way of life she's always known, and freedom. Will she be able to escape to the outside world, dooming her family to shame, or must she submit to the path chosen for her? If You Enjoy "The Chosen One (Hardcover)", May We Also Recommend:
