The Chosen One by Carol Lynch Williams

I zipped through this little novel about a young lady living in a polygamist cult. She's the oldest of tons of kids from three moms and one dad. But Kyra has dreams. She reads "illegal" books from the bookmobile and secretly meets a young man her age from the Chosen Ones. Then the Prophet sees in a vision that she is supposed to marry her Uncle Hyrum. Who is sixty. And her dad's brother. Ewwww.

And so Kyra thinks about running. But the God Squad beats people who resist and will do anything to stop people from escaping. They've killed before, especially women and babies, so if she does manage to escape, they may hunt her down. Great suspense!
