Gathering Blue
Gathering Blue

Dystopian tale of empowerment and artistic survival.

If you enjoy stories that explore a future where society is regressed yet eerily familiar, "Gathering Blue" by Lois Lowry might intrigue you. Kira's journey as an orphan with a disability, who finds her strength through her gifted weaving, speaks to resilience and the power of creativity in a world that might not initially embrace the different. This is a tale for anyone who relishes rooting for the underdog and appreciates storytelling that weaves social commentary with a touch of the post-apocalyptic.
