I get the general idea of the joy book, but what I dont understand is this - If the prophet decides who marries who (basicay assigns wives) then what is the purpose of the book? Was it sort of Roman's "cream of the crop" on hand in a book to assist him in bartering? So he oculd basicaly be like " well, john doe if you see to it that what i ask of you is done any one of my most righteous girls could be yours - here take a look" ? LOL Goofy , i know... but you get what i'm saying right? JJ that's exactly how I thought it happened. It was Roman's bartering tool. You do A and I'll give you her.

Well, if that be the case then you can bet the book didnt include EVERY flds girl who was deemed marriagable at JC - I would think it would ideed be his "best of". So I guess that would explain why Nicki felt shocked that she was in there , her own father putting her there and using her as a prime bargaining tool... litterally offering he rup like livestock.
Of course that would also make sense as to why she would be placed in the book - being the daughter of the prophet would give her higher value.

Ok, a couple of things. I could be wrong, but it seemed clear to me that all the girls who are available for marriage end up in the joy book. I think the reason Nicki doesn't want CL in there is because she is still way too young to be married. Nicki was married at 14 to JJ and it was traumatic for her, she doesn't want the same for her daughter.
I think the reason she became upset when she saw her own picture in the old joybook was not so much because it was a surprise as because she was having to face and re live her past. She was being confronted with the damage that was done to her even as she had tried to hide it from he family.
In fact, I think it was remembering her own traumatic experience with being sealed to JJ, having a daughter, having to make difficult decisions to escape, etc. that actually led her to go and get involved with her own daughter again last season.
But, that's just my take on it.

I agree with your thepry about her facing her past, etc. But I DO think it was a surprise to her that she wa sin the joybook. Not just becaus eof her reaction when she saw it , but b/c later on (when trying to dig up the money her mom had buried) she said to her mom "I was in the joybook mama!" (or something to that effect) in a way that defnitely made it seem she was shocked to learn about it, and it also made her start to question her father.

I understand that being in the joy book was hurtful for Nikki. However, I guess I am just having a hard time understanding how Nikki didn't know she was in the joy book. After all, she was married off at 14 against her will. Did she just think that Roman had randomly assigned her to marry JJ? Perhaps she figured that she was somehow different than other girls since she was Roman and Adaleen's daughter. However both of her parents were so traditional that I can't see how she did not expect to be put in the joy book....

I do think she thought she was different because she was roman's daughter. I think it actually took her quite a while to realize her parents didnt give a shit about her... and i'm not sure she ever realized it completely.

I think after tonight's show, when she realized Caralyn was set to be sealed before Roman died...She realized it then.
