Listen to this audiobook excerpt from Carol Lynch Williams' young adult novel The Chosen One. Thirteen-year-old Kyra has grown up in an isolated polygamous community without questioning her father's three wives and her twenty brothers and sisters. Or at least without questioning them much—if you don't count her secret visits to the Mobile Library on Wheels to read forbidden books, or her meetings with the boy she hopes to choose for herself instead of having a man chosen for her. But when the Prophet decrees that Kyra must marry her 60-year-old uncle—who already has six wives—Kyra must make a desperate choice in the face of violence and her own fears of losing her family.

Publishing 5th August 2010, Simon & Schuster UK.
Thirteen-year-old Kyra has grown up in her isolated community without ever questioning the fact that her father has three wives and she has twenty brothers and sisters; without ever questioning the strict rules imposed by 'the Prophet who leads them.

Together, they hatch a plan to run away, but their escape is complicated by the arrival of government officials who are investigating Kyra's community for allegations of child abuse.
"The Chosen One" is a powerful and emotionally charged novel that explores themes of freedom, individuality, and the search for identity. Through Kyra's story, the novel offers a searing critique of the dangers of religious extremism and the ways in which it can subjugate and exploit its followers. Despite its dark subject matter, "The Chosen One" is ultimately a hopeful and uplifting story that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit in the face of oppression and adversity.

There is no place that she would call her home There is no place that hasn't seen her fight She places her soft hand on your bleeding shoulder Touches your frozen soul and speaks to you (pre-chorus) I can believe it's true I can believe it's you That opened up my eyes An let my body rise (chorus) Rise up, follow her voice Listen to the chosen one Rise up there is no choice But leave it all and follow the chosen one Walking in silence Her journey never ends She's got a story for everyone She always believes you Walking by your side Wipes your tears while She speaks to you (pre-chorus) I can believe it's true I can believe it's you That opened up my eyes An let my body rise (chorus) Rise up, follow her voice Listen to the chosen one Rise up there is no choice But leave it all and follow Rise up, follow her voice Listen to the chosen one Rise up there is no choice
