The Chosen One

by 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.

I read this book in one sitting. I picked it up at 10:20 p.m. and finished it at 1:45 a.m. If you want to be shaken to the core, then read this book. I know that this is a novel, but I realize that these things must truly happen in the groups of fundamentalists people.
