The Chosen One pgs. 1-100

In the first 100 pages of The Chosen One we’re introduced to Kyra, the main character. She’s a Mormon who lives with her mom, who is one among a few wives her father has. At the beginning I can tell she’s a little different. She’s telling her sister how she would kill the prophet, if she could. She talks of many of the sins she’s done, one of them is basically having a boyfriend. She’s in love with a boy she met a while ago, Josiah. She meets up with him every so often, and claims it’s love. He wants to “choose her” when he gets older. Later on in the story she’s told she’s going to be forced to marry another man. Not only is this man her uncle, he’s also 63, and she knows she’ll be forced to have sex to bare children with him. She’s disgusted at the idea she made her little sister be dunked naked in ice-cold water because she was crying when she is there. She can’t imagine life with him. She also sins by reading other books. They’re not supposed to read any “outside” books, and were forced to burn them all when she was younger. She goes to the traveling library and picks books that she hides in her tree, which is like her secret hide out. Toward the end of the 100 pages I can tell Kyra is contemplating running away.
