Commentary To Books The Chosen One

Thirteen-year-old Kyra has grown up in an isolated community without questioning the fact that her father has three wives and she has twenty brothers and sisters. That is, without questioning it much - if you don't count her visits to the Ironton County Mobile Library on Wheels to read forbidden books, or her secret meetings with Joshua, the boy she hopes to choose for herself instead of having a man chosen for her.

But when the Prophet decrees that Kyra must marry her sixty-year-old uncle - who already has six wives - she must make a desperate choice in the face of violence and her own fears of losing her family forever.

Piece Regarding Books The Chosen One

I have always been fascinated by the world of polygamy, not the Muslim type, but the type that stems from innately American religion - Mormonism. "The Chosen One" is the first YA book I came across that was dedicated to this subject.The book narrates a story of Kyra, a 13-year old girl born and raised in a polygamist compound. Her family is huge, she has 3 mothers and over a dozen of siblings. Kyra's life is quite acceptable in spite of the tough fundamentalist rules that prohibit reading,

I could not put this book down. I got it on a random whim when I was browsing Amazon and it was one of the best books I have read in a long time. But it's sad and shocking... you really feel afraid for Kyra and you're just desperately begging her to get away, to escape with Patrick in his library on wheels.Basically, Kyra is a 13 year old in a place where the leader (called the Prophet) chooses who you marry. It is a very different novel and explores religion and culture and especially the way

Google polygamy. That's what this book is about. More specifically, it's from a 14 yeR old girl's perspective. Reading this was uncomfortable yet captivating. Things that were written actually have happened....and unfortunately, still happen. Spoilers ahead:That ice cube scene with the baby just about finished me off. I just can't stand reading such cruelty. The fact that the father was just going to stay put and let his daughter be married as a 7th wife to a man...no not just a man, her

I am not me anymore.I go to sleep knowing that.I am not me. Any. More.The Chosen One by Carol Lynch Williams is a thought provoking read that hit my heart hard. Hot, angry tears mixed right in with my cries of no, no, NO! A disturbing story filled with pain and ugliness, but strength and hope as well. Faith holds the power to inspire and devastate.Readers are introduced to 13 year old Kyra, her family, and way of life in an isolated Polygamist community. A life filled with the weight and warmth

This book was hard to read. Kyra is thirteen and lives in a polygamist community with her father, her mother, his father's two other wives, and her 20 brothers and sisters. One day, the Prophet of their community says he has had a vision and that Kyra must marry her own uncle, who is 60 years old and she will be his 7th wife.Kyra is obviously desperate, she is only 13, and come on, ew!I was drawn from the first pages, Kyra tells us her story and you can't help but feel so much towards this girl!

I first came across The Chosen One in my local library in 2014. I was looking for my next audiobook and found it. The description on the audio case left me not expecting much:Kyra is a member of the Chosen Ones, a polygamist group isolated from the rest of its community. Suffocating from the restrictions placed upon her, Kyras only form of rebellion is checking out library books and immersing herself within them up in her favorite tree.The Chosen One exceeded my low expectations! It is so much

The Chosen One is a heartbreaking, definitely disturbing account of one girl's isolated life in a polygamist community. Kyra is thirteen-years-old but has already witnessed terrible acts of violence: babies being tortured, gunshots going off in the dead of night, and women being murdered for no comprehensible reason. At her age she is slowly understanding what this all means - no one is safe, and she must always accept what the Prophet tells her to do. However, Kyra's resolve to follow the
