Son

When the young girl washed up on a faraway shore, no one knew she had been a Vessel. That she had carried a Product. That it had been carved from her belly. Stolen. Claire had had a son. She was supposed to forget him, but she could not. When he was taken from their community, she knew she had to follow. So her journey began… Three separate storylines collide as old friends come together in this long-awaited end to The Giver quartet, featuring a new heroine, Claire. Thrust into a darkly menacing world in which freedom and friendship are under threat, will Claire survive the final clash of good and evil? This compelling conclusion to the classic quartet is guaranteed to entrance fans both old and new.

“Written with powerful, moving simplicity, Claire’s story stands on its own, but as the final volume in this iconic quartet, it… offers a transcending message of tolerance and hope. Bravo!” Kirkus

“Lowry is one of those rare writers who can craft stories as meaningful as they are enticing.” Booklist
