SYNOPSIS: Rhine lives in a time when diseases are a thing of the past. However, women no longer live past 20, and men no longer live past 25. When they reach those ages, they become ill and die. Because of the rarety of women in child-bearing years, girls are often kidnapped, and forced into plural marriage, so that they can have children before they die. This is exactly what happens to Rhine, and she tries to escape so that she can find her twin brother and be free again.
AUNT SHARON'S TAKE: This story is well-told and exciting. I enjoyed it, and read the second book in the trilogy, also. However, because of the subject matter (polygamy), it had some sensuality, and what I would consider a sexual predator in it. For that reason, I would reserve the book for Young Adult readers.
RATING: PG13 for Violence, and Sensuality
AUDIENCE: Young Adults
STARS: 3
