Her neighbors are hostile, and no one but a small boy offers to help. When she is summoned to judgment by The Council of Guardians, Kira prepares to fight for her life. But the Council, to her surprise, has plans for her. Blessed with an almost magical talent that keeps her alive, the young girl faces new responsibilities and a set of mysteries deep within the only world she has ever known. On her quest for truth, Kira discovers things that will change her life and world forever. A compelling examination of a future society, Gathering Blue challenges readers to think about community, creativity, and the values that they have learned to accept.

- 7***y (1335)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI had to contact the seller several times to inquire when the book was going to be mailed out. When the seller eventually commented back, they said they would mail it out after the weekend on Monday. Instead, on Monday, I got a refund for the book without any explanation other than a generic comment. I found this experience to be very demeaning to a customer. This experience leaves very little desire to be a repeat customer.
