My name is Lucia and I have 17 brothers and sisters, and 3 on the way. I have 4 mothers. And my dear father. My family is one of the chosen family's. The chosen ones chose the first wife for the men on their 18th birthday, the girls can be told to marry once they reach puberty. The women have no say. If the prophet says to the men that God sees them together then they must get married. Life here is all we know, but it not all that's out there. We have a simple life here, but it harder than it seems. We are Amish and our men here have more than one wife. There are thousands of us here in this town. We stay under the radar most of the time. We are not allowed to leave town unless with a father or husband. I've only been out once.
