Kira, an orphan with a twisted leg, lives in a world where the weak are cast aside. She fears for her future until she is spared by the all-powerful Council of Guardians. Kira is a gifted weaver and is given a task that no other community member can carry out. While her talent keeps her alive and brings certain privileges, Kira soon realizes that she is surrounded by mysteries and secrets. No one must know of her plans to uncover the truth about her world--and to find out what exists beyond it.
This is an extremely heart-warming book full of the adventures of a young and crippled girl named Kira. This book is about how Kira's mother argued for her to stay alive and they Council accepted and now she must live her life as a cripple in a village of perfects. Most every one of the villagers has an awful taste for Kira. They all mock her and hate her just for living. When she is offered a task that only she can complete and must take, she becomes isolated from all that she once lived outside. Her task was to repair the robe worn by the Singer of the future during the Gathering ceremony. When she begins taking dye making lessons from an old woman out in the forest, the whole world opens up in front of her eyes. She knew she must complete her task and get on with life. But, with even a roadblock toward the end, the surprise that is coming for her may be too much for her to handle... or will it?
