Description:Seventeen-year-old Brin has spent the last ten years protecting her thirteen-year-old sister, Tess. They were just children when a mysterious plague killed their parents, along with the majority of human life on Earth. The world they knew was gone, and Brin and Tess were on their own. When they found The Republic, a settlement of over 3,000 people living in what was once Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Brin knew it wouldn’t be forever. She agreed to go along with the settlement’s unusual rules . . . it was a sacrifice she was willing to make for Tess. But she always knew the day would come when Tess would be expected to make that same sacrifice. And that’s something Brin can never allow. It would be too horrible, too terrible, too wrong. Now, with Tess’s fourteenth birthday just a few months away, Brin learns that powerful people in The Republic may not let them leave. The world is very different now, with very different rules, and Brin and Tess are valuable assets. When sixteen-year-old Megan is locked up for refusing to join the colony, Brin realizes that time is running out. She enlists the help of nineteen-year-old Cole, a colony newcomer who has his own concerns about the way things are being done in The Republic. Cole and his friend Al are willing to risk their own lives and safety to help Brin, Tess, and Megan escape. But can they make it on their own? And is the world they find beyond The Republic a better place, or just another trap from which they’ll have to escape? Is self-sacrifice the greatest proof of love, or does love demand an even more difficult commitment? And is the preservation of the human race worth the sacrifice of personal freedom and choice? Or is our very humanity defined by our sense of self and our need for autonomy?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
