Description
As the eldest daughter of the seventh wife in one of the most prominent contemporary polygamist families in Pineridge, Alva Jane Merrill is content with the domestic duties, religious ceremonies, and strict rules of dress and behavior that define her life. At fourteen, she is excited to become the first wife of her charismatic crush, and to fulfill her duties to her husband, her church, and her community. This is the only world Alva has ever known, and she does not question it.

But Alva's eyes are quickly opened to the dark and violent realities of her fate after she is discovered giving her sweetheart an innocent first kiss. Beaten, scorned, and facing a forced marriage to the violent, fifty-year old brother of the prophet, Alva suddenly realizes how much she has to lose--and how impossible it will be to escape.
