INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The Read With Jenna Today Show Book Club Pick! A story of love and hope as interweaving characters display: how all moments, big and small, can Measure a life.
Enchanting and deeply uplifting, The Measure is a sweeping, ambitious, and invigorating story about family, friendship, hope, and destiny that encourages us to live life to the fullest..
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 didn\'t have to rush, a doctor who cannot save himself, and a politician whose box becomes the powder keg that ultimately changes everything.
In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy.
From suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every person on every continent receives the same box.
This box holds your fate inside: the answer to the exact number of years you will live.
But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box.
You wake up, pour a cup of coffee, and head out.
It seems like any other day.
One extraordinary choice.
Eight ordinary people. --Jenna Bush Hager A luminous, spirit-lifting blockbuster for readers of The Midnight Library.
If you want joy, love, romance, and hope--read with us.
