![]() ![]() ![]() Review: Told from the perspectives of three young women living in the Unity community, Sister Wife by Shelley Hrdlitschka explores the role of women in a polygamous community in a thoughtful, well-rounded manner. Fearful of losing her family and hindered by strict religious life she has always known, Celeste’s unlikely friendship with a boy who builds inuksuik in the river opens her eyes and heart to new possibilities, helping her find the courage to choose something different. Spurred on by the stories of Tatianna, a girl taken in by the community while she gets back on her feet, and discouraged by her sister Nannette, a fervent believer in the way of the community who dreams of the day when she will become a sister wife, Celeste must decide for herself whether she will submit to becoming the multiple wife of an older man. Summary: Faced with an impending arranged marriage within her Unity community, Celeste finds herself having doubts and falling for a boy named Jon instead. ![]()
