The Chosen One
Carol Lynch Williams This book tells the story of 13-year-old Kyra who has grown up in a polygamist home in Utah. Kyra has a father, three mothers and 22 siblings. While she is acustomed to the lifestyle, she does rebel against some of the strict rules of the family compound. For example, it is forbidden that Kyra read books, but she befriends a book mobile librarian and they work together to find ways for her to read. Kyra also has fallen in love, even though it has to remain a secret from the family. What Kyra isn't expecting is the day that she finds out that she is required to take a husband...not just any husband... her 60 year old uncle. This book quickly becomes a fast-paced mystery as Kyra tries to change her fate.
This book had my full attention from page one. It was really interesting and amazingly intense! I give it a 10 out of 10!
