Kyra Leigh Carlson has been chosen by the prophet to wife to her 60-year-old uncle. She has secretly been seeing Joshua and dreads the prophets choice. She often seeks escape from the pressures of life in the compound by visiting the Ironton County Mobile Library on Wheels when it visits. Kyra attempts to flee the compound after Joshua and 2 other boys are forced to leave to die in the desert and she is beaten. The God Squad and Sheriff Felix catch her, run the bookmobile off the road, and kill Patrick, the bookmobile driver. The bookmobile is left parked near her trailer home. Patrick had told her there is a spare key and has given her his cell phone. Kyra escapes yet again - in the bookmobile, gets cell service, and calls 911. She is rescued and the thugs are arrested. Kyra is taken to a safe house.
Excellent page-turner. Inappropriate for immature readers.
