Kira is a gifted weaver and is given a task that no other community member can do. While her talent keeps her alive and brings certain privileges, Kira soon realizes she is surrounded by many mysteries and secrets. No one must know of her plans to uncover the truth about her world and see what places exist beyond.

I don't remember too much about reading this book. I vaguely remember a few small details. One thing I do definitely remember is that I did enjoy reading the book as always when it comes down to Lois Lowry.
