Everyone is the same. Except Jonas.Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. Gradually Jonas learns that power lies in feelings. But when his own power is put to the testwhen he must try to save someone he loveshe may not be ready. Is it too soon? Or too late?Told with deceptive simplicity, this is the provocative story of a boy who experiences something incredible and undertakes something impossible.
