What would you do if the only way you could be free would be to leave everyone and everything you have loved? Kyra is one of the Chosen Ones who lives in an isolated community and follow whatever the Prophet says. The only book they are allowed to read is the Bible and the Prophet chooses who they will marry. But Kyra silently questions what she has been taught, secretly visits the Bookmobile, and reads. She knows there is more to life that what she sees around her. When she is told that she must marry her 60 year old uncle, she must make a life changing decision even if the result of that decision punishes her family. What will she do? What would you do.
