![]() ![]() Sister Wife is very much ripped from the headlines, and I don’t love that. She feels safe in Unity, but she’s not dedicated to the lifestyle. Taviana is not from Unity, and her life before coming to the community was very, very different from the modest, religious way of things in the Movement. She believes completely, with her whole heart, and can’t understand Celeste’s reluctance and doubts. She can’t wait to be a sister wife, and a mother. ![]() ![]() She can’t wait until the Prophet assigns her to a husband. Nanette, Celeste’s younger sister, is far more content with their way of life. However, she also doesn’t feel ready to fight the traditions of her community, not when it will bring shame to the family she loves so dearly. She is fifteen and doesn’t feel ready to be married, especially not to a man old enough to be her father. It follows three very different girls coming of age in Unity, with the title referring to the fact that the community practices polygamy (referred to as “celestial marriage”), where young girls are married off to older men, whose other wives are their “sister wives.”Ĭeleste has grown up in Unity, but she is beginning to question the ways of The Movement as the day nears when she will be assigned to a husband. Sister Wife takes place in Unity, home to The Movement, a conservative religious group that lives apart from mainstream, modern society. ![]()
