I'm not sure about this book, it was definitely interesting. It is about a mother and her two girls who flee from a polygamous compound. The girls know nothing of the world outside and are scared and confused why they have been taken from all they have ever known. Amity finds freedom and joy in her knew life but Sorrow wants nothing more than to return to what she has known. It is about a mothers struglle to justify her choices and undo what has been done. "You either made a vow or your didn't." We try and complicate things, we either said I do or we didn't. Sometimes we just need to break it down and keep it simple. Life is complex, especially relationships but it comes down to the fact that we either made a vow or we didn't. "They say God is knocking on your heart, all the time, and you only have to open it for Him." God pursues everyone of us, we just have to be willing to hear His knock. "Life is just seeds. You know, you plant in the dirt you're given. It's all you've got. You water, you tend, and sometimes seeds don't take. Sometimes it all goes away from you." We do the best we can with what we have, that's all we can do. That's hard to accept sometimes. We do what we can and ask God to do the rest. This book was an interesting and informative read.
