The Giver

I have really been thinking about this book that my children and I read several years ago. The Giver is written by Lois Lowry in 1993. It is about a futuristic society that has eliminated pain by replacing it with sameness. The society also has a disturbing way of dealing with the inconvenient.


It's a quick read, but the thoughts and emotions that you should feel after reading the book will stay with you for a lifetime.


I just hope that this story isn't a foreshadowing of how our nation will become.
