Memories are dangerous. Memories are weapons. Seventeen-year-old Stella Parlett has believed that for her entire life. In the Federation of Equal Opportunity, formerly known as the United States, the freedom to remember is a small price to pay for the safety that lies in forgetting. When Stella turns eighteen, she'll enter a new life free of fear and free of memories. Everyone has the right to forget their wrongdoings, to have a second chance. And Stella can't wait to do it herself. But everything changes the day Stella adopts a child into her home. All of a sudden, she has something to lose. And when the Federation itself starts to threaten the ones she loves most, Stella is forced to make a difficult choice: what is she willing to fight for?
