Web. 02 Dec. 2011. .Sister Wife by Shelley Hrdlitshka is based upon the now growing popular idea of "The Sister Wife" concept. The polygamy way of life was made widely popular by the show "Sister Wives" that airs on TLC. Polygamy involves a man marrying several wives, in order to achieve the status of "purity" in their religion and be accepted into God's kingdom.

Web. 02 Dec. 2011.So, my question is, what do you think the ordinary world (common culture in this book) thinks of Unity?
When the people of Unity visit the nearest town to buy staple items, they receive many awful glares and funny looks. They often hear taunts and are shunned by the people, and so only one man from the group goes to the town every week. I think the common world finds the people of Unity very alien and strange, because they live so differently than them. They find the idea of polygamy disgusting and unethical, because being with multiple women is considered adultery to them.
The people of Unity are out casted.
