Biography

Sarah, age 18 in season 3, struggles with the choices her parents made when she was a child to follow the fundamentalist principle of polygamy. This leads her to join a support group for ex-Mormons. There she meets Scott, who is 10 years older than her, and the two date, despite the fact that she is under age. The two have had a rocky relationship and in Season 3 she learns she is pregnant, but doesn't tell him. In Episode 30 she miscarries the baby. In Episode 31 he shows up at her home to try to see her and is told to leave by her father, but in the season 3 finale Sarah asks Scott to marry her and he accepts. Margene is excited, Barb and Ben are opposed, and Bill, reluctant at first, eventually agrees to give his blessing, saying he has no other choice. They are married in Season 4, in a secular ceremony in the communal backyard of the Henricksons' homes, conducted by a Justice of the Peace. Scott goes away for business and Sarah takes it upon herself to help an American Indian girl who is a drug abuser.
