Description

In a seemingly perfect society where emotions are suppressed and individuality is discouraged, Claire carries a secret longing for the child she carried. When her son is taken away, as is the custom, she defies the rigid rules of her community and embarks on a perilous journey to find him. Her quest will challenge everything she knows about her world and the true meaning of love and sacrifice. Lois Lowry masterfully explores themes of connection, rebellion, and the enduring power of the maternal bond in this poignant and thought-provoking novel.
