I'm wrecking my body for this project, Jarora thought, alarmed. She could no longer deny it or pretend to be strong. She was feeling the horror of emotion.

In the resource-strained world of 2254, emotions are outlawed and the past is erased. But when 16-year-old Jarora is forced off her meds as part of a special project, the shock of feeling emotions makes her wonder if she's a pawn.

Her project is to urge her oldest ancestor, Mamay, into Transition. The World demands population control, and at age 124, it's time for Mamay to go to the other side. Mamay reveals forbidden memories to Jarora, showing how the World has sacrificed authentic human interaction for maximum productivity.

Now, with only a low-status friend and ancient codes as allies, Jarora must race to escape the World's authority and discover the hidden truth. If she can unlock what's in Outerplace, and survive, Jarora might become the one thing her society fears: a young woman who feels, remembers, and fights back.

Perfect for fans of Divergent, Scythe, and The Giver. This pulse-pounding story of resistance and courage will grip you, and its unexpected end will make you think about what the world is really made of.
