Jenny picks a quick read every week, just for fun.

Jonas is safe. Very safe. That’s what living in the Community is about. There is no pain or fear or unpleasantness. Everything is organized. Everyone gets along. But when Jonas is chosen to be his community’s Receiver of Memory, he begins to discover some not-so-pleasant things about the not-so-safe world he’s living in. For the first time, Jonas is forced to make impossible choices. And his decisions won’t just decide his fate. What Jonas chooses to do will actually determine the security and survival of his whole world.
