As a member of Righteous Path, a polygamist cult, fourteen-year-old Eva desires to be an obedient follower. When she's allowed to venture out into the heathen world, however, she begins questioning everything she's been taught. Sections of awkward dialogue and forced plot points detract from the story, but the fascinating premise will draw readers in.

Sixth-grader Mary Clare already knows that she wants to be a nun. The personal and political intersect for her as the Vietnam War, women's liberation, and the civil rights movement alternately test and sharpen her faith. With an authentic-sounding writing style, the narrative brings 1967 to life and still manages to resonate today.
