I had read and seen quite a bit of pre-pub hype for this book. May times when there is too much hype, the book is not all that good. That was not the case with this title. The Chosen one is about a 13 yr. old girl, Kyra, who has grown up in a polygamous sect of a cult. She has 24 brothers and sisters and her father has 3 wives. Suddenly, it is announced that the Prophet has had a vision from God and she is to marry her uncle, age 60, in 4 weeks time. While her father does all he can to fix things, the Prophet insists it must be so. So, it is up to Kyra to decide if she should save herself and never see her family again, or go about life as "normal" and enter into an incestuous marriage to a man 4 1/2 decades order than she, as a 7th wife. Excellent book, I was cheering her on and hissing at the bad guys.
