 * A:** She met secretly with Joshua, a boy, and talked with and kissed him. Since she had been saved for another (her uncle Hyrum) this was considered adultery.
 * A:** Patrick is the driver of the mobile library, who stops weekly for Kyra to come and pick up books. When he sees Kyra's injuries after her beating by the Elders, he hides her in the back of the bookmobile and tries to drive her to town. He is shot and killed by the law officer of the compound + posse in this endeavor, but he makes Kyra's later escape possible by telling her where the spare car key is located.
 * A:** The current Prophet declares that disabled are sinners, and should be killed at birth. He is disgusted with Emily, who isn't right in the head, but Kyra's family loves Emily, who would be the eldest daughter if it weren't for her mental state.
 * A:** Her biological mother, Mother Sarah, is very sick- perhaps even dangerously sick- when she is pregnant, and has her current child too early after Kyra is beaten. Kyra knows that if they had access to modern medicine, her youngest sister would have lived beyond just a few minutes, and her mother's pregnancies would be safer, but the Prophet denounces modern medicine as evil, and that the death of mothers/children in childbirth the will of G-d.
