Description
"Eight ordinary people. One extraordinary choice. It seems like any other day. You wake up, you pour a cup of coffee, and head out. But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box. The box holds your fate: the exact number of years you will live. From suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise? As society comes together and pulls apart, everyone faces the same shocking choice: Do they wish to know how long they'll live? And, if so, what will they do with that knowledge? The Measure charts the dawn of this new world through an unforgettable cast of characters whose decisions and fates interweave with one another -- best friends whose dreams are forever entwined, pen pals finding refuge in the unknown, a couple who thought they didnt have to rush, a doctor who cannot save himself, and a politician whose box becomes a powder keg that ultimately changes everything. Enchanting and deeply uplifting The Measure is a sweeping, ambitious, invigorating story about family, friendship, hope and destiny that encourages us to live life to the fullest"--,Provided by publisher.
