Sister Wife

by Shelley Hrdlitschka (Goodreads Author)
I initially bought this book because I thought it would be a good way to tide me over before Big Love comes back (Sunday!) and if you watch that show, this is more like life on the compound than life with Bill, Barb, Nicki and Margene. Although it's weird, because while it's not a particularly great life, none of the guys seem to be as awful as, say, Roman.
Anyway. It's about Celeste, who was born and raised in a polygamist community called Unity. She's starting to realize that she doesn't want to be a sister wife, especially because that means she'd have to marry someone her father's age (or older). (In the community, you don't marry people your own age; the Prophet assigns you to older men.) She's almost 15, which means that she'll be getting married soon.
She feels really odd, because her younger sister, Nanette, already wants to get married and be a mom, and she realizes that she (Celeste) doesn't want any of those things. But at the same time, she doesn't want to leave, either, because then she'll never see her family again.
(This book is incredibly easy to read because (a) it's interesting and (b) it's less than 300 pages and has big font.)
