Land of the Bong Tree Peggy Gardner

When fifteen-year-old Jenny Hatchet escapes from a forced "Celestial Marriage" in the Land of Nod, she finds temporary refuge on a reservation with the eccentric and charming Earnshaw family. Stricken with guilt for leaving her mother and little sister in a polygamy compound, Jenny faces new emotional problems. She's attracted to both Healthcliff Earnshaw and her rescuer Josh Barnes-life-long best friends. As Jenny searches for a long-lost uncle who might help her rescue her mother and sister, death strikes on the reservation. Land of the Bong Tree leads Jenny to a new understanding of the value of family and friends, but her independent nature sets her on a dangerous path in this second novel of the Land Trilogy.
