Claire's son Gabriel, the baby Jonas rescues in The Giver, disappears; in her quest to find her son, Claire eventually washes up on the beach of an isolated village without her memory. The strength of this novel is its compassionate portrait of a mother's commitment to her lost child, and the book will be of great interest to those hooked on Lowry's series.
