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.

Good submitted by zmclaugh on July 26, 2018, 12:24pm I wanted more from this book--more exploration of the characters beyond Kyra, more development of Kyra. That said, I still really enjoyed it because there is a lot here.
