Capítulo 8: Chapter 8

“The Leader is very strict about those things. They were not married and it—carnal knowledge like that—is never permitted before marriage! In fact, they were not even pledged for one another. Marion was to become the wife of one of the elders whose second wife had died in childbirth, and no one had been named yet for Jacob.”

Brandi sighed. What a sorry situation these two young man lived in. Arranged marriages and no proper socializing for the young people? It sounded like one of those crazy cults where the head man could have all the women he desired and his chosen few shared the rest, multiple wives and marriage of young girls to much older men and all sorts of perverted behavior. Disgust twisted in her depths. Well, I can save these two from that anyway…at least I am pretty sure I can!
