At fifteen she is repulsed at the thought of being assigned to an older man and becoming a sister wife, and she knows for certain she is not cut out to raise children. Whatever it is, she struggles to accept her ordained life. Perhaps it's because of Taviana, the girl who has come to live with them and entertains Celeste with forbidden stories, or Jon, the young man she has clandestine meetings with, or maybe it's the influence of Craig, the outsider she meets on the beach. Celeste was born and raised in Unity, yet she struggles to fit in. Polygamy is the norm, strict obedience is expected and it is customary for young girls to be assigned to much older husbands. In the isolated rural community of Unity, the people of The Movement live a simple life guided by a set of religious principles and laws that are unique to them. ![]()
