the chosen one by Carol Lynch Williams is a look into a lifestyle most of us will never experience. Kyra is a member of a polygamist society when older men marry the youngest women. When Kyra is told who she must marry, she has to decide to accept the decision and stay with the familiar or stand on her own and lose everything she knows.
I loved the fact that a bookmobile plays such an instrumental role in Kyra's life and letting her see beyond the tightly guarded community she lives in. The only part of the book that I didn't like was that Kyra is only 13 years old. I felt it would have been better to make her just a little older. But once you start reading the story, you forget her exact age and just keep reading to find out what happens to her.
the chosen one is a compelling read that maintains the suspense until the very end.
