Sinossi
Thirteen-year-old Kyra has grown up in her isolated community without ever questioning the fact that her father has three wives and she has twenty brothers and sisters; without ever questioning the strict rules imposed by 'the Prophet who leads them. But now Kyra has started keeping secrets. She reads books that are forbidden and sneaks away to meet Joshua, the boy she hopes to choose for herself, instead of having a husband chosen for her. Kyra knows that it's only a matter of time before her two secret loves are discovered. And when the Prophet decrees that she is to become the seventh wife of her sixty-year-old uncle, Kyra is forced to make a desperate choice. But saving herself means endangering everyone she's ever cared for.How far should she go for freedom?

Recensione
"A powerful and heartbreaking novel of love and hope." Meg Cabot, bestselling author of The Princess Diaries
"A moving, compelling story" The Booksller Children's Buyer Guide
"Gripping tale about a 13-year-old girl trapped in a polygamist cult...Williams takes such care in crafting Kyra's internal struggles - and her hellacious story - that the ensuing drama rings true." Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"This is a heart pounder, and readers will be held, especially as the danger escalates... what's most interesting about this book is how the yearnings and fears of a character so far from what most YAs know will still seem familiar and close." Booklist
"Spare, evocative writing and an honest sense of character that helps bridge the rift between Kyra's world and ours... revealing that moment in childhood when you recognize your thoughts as your own and discover forces in the world that your parents cannot - or will not - protect you from." New York Times Book Review (Editor's Choice)
"Intensely gripping and grippingly intense" Kirkus Reviews
