Hanna Who Fell from the Sky by Christopher Meades
3.0
I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion.
Hanna lives in a polygamous cult, the oldest of 15 children in her family. She is just about to turn 18, and then she will be married off to be the fifth wife of a man more than twice her age. When the benefactor of the community and his family return to the community, Hanna finds herself drawn to the youngest son, Daniel. Daniel tells Hanna that she doesn't have to do what is expected of her and encourages her to follow her own free will. Hanna is torn: she wants to escape the marriage that is her fate, but she cannot imagine leaving her mom or her siblings.
I don't know how to feel about this book. Meades did a great job with building the world of this cult. I just wanted to be able to drive there and save Hanna (and the other women in the community) myself. However, most of the book could have taken place at a secluded community in today's world, but
