Sara and Rachel are two sisters living in a polygamy world. They have now reached the age to become wives. Rachel embraces the religion and all their beliefs while Sara questions some of the rules. When the rules start to change to fit what their father wants, Rachel starts to question giving Sara her chance to pull them both away from this lifestyle.

The book takes you to a brief point in the sisters lives and shows you the circumstances leading up to their departure and the consequences of their actions.

The book is a work of fiction but opens a window into this lifestyle and questions it. It was not an intense page turner but I did finish the book in a couple of days.
