All That My Skin Can Remember (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781773351490)

What do you do if you're born in a town with obligations, a compulsory change, for everyone as soon as they turn thirteen? What then do you do if they train you to become the killer who must assassinate those who try to escape?

You trip and fall off the cliff and into the unknown landscape just as disturbing in more shocking ways. And what if you are conditioned after years of being surrounded by dystopian practices that you actually think of going back and miss it at times?

Off the cliff you find life and discover the things one feels when they're free, and then you meet him, the one. He is wild and can hardly speak, but you teach him, and walk with him, searching for a place to call home. What love awaits, what horrors await. You are his and he is yours. The two of you together produce the most unexpected thing. But life is tough out in the world, and the dangers are many. And you must protect the miracle you never thought you would have. Will you leave him behind to save yourself, to save her?
