Summary
Kyra's family belongs to the religious sect, The Chosen Ones. There are three wives and many siblings, but they were a happy family until Prophet Childs became the sect's leader. Now the God Squad rules and it's easy to feel afraid. After Kyra is chosen to become her Uncle Hyrum's seventh wife, she is faced with choices she never wanted to make.
Critique
This is a fabulously thought-provoking book. There's an unexpected blend of suspense and domesticity, giving a sense of urgency to the characters' everyday life. Highly recommended read.
