They called her Water Claire. When she washed up on their shore, no one knew that she came from a society where emotions and colors didn't exist. That she had become a Vessel at age thirteen. That she had carried a Product at age fourteen. That it had been stolen from her body. Claire had a son. But what became of him she never knew. What was his name? Was he even alive? She was supposed to forget him, but that was impossible. Now Claire will stop at nothing to find her child, even if it means making an unimaginable sacrifice.

The final installment of the Giver Quartet takes readers back to the beginning with the tale of Clare, a birth mother, who leaves her seemingly perfect town to find the son that was taken from her, a little boy named Gabe. Clare travels to a more primitive village locked beneath a high cliff that only one man has ever been able to scale. When Clare arrives at this village she is injured and has lost her memory. As she begins to get her memory back, she realizes that she must find a way over the cliff. She must find her son. However, in order to find him, she will have to sacrifice the one thing that may separate her from her son for the rest of her life. Son ties all four books together while giving the reader another hero to cheer for in the battle of good versus evil.
