Would you choose to find out the length of your life? One spring day, small wooden boxes arrive for every person, all over the world, from suburban doorsteps to desert tents. All the boxes feature the same inscription, "The measure of your life lies within," and vary in only two ways: the name of the recipient and the length of the single string inside. Instantly, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy, first to ascertain their origin and meaning, and then to confront the truth of the strings. Told through multiple perspectives, The Measure introduces an unforgettable cast of characters whose lives weave and interlock with one another upon the arrival of the strings: a doctor who cannot save himself, a couple who thought they didnt have to rush, best friends whose dreams are forever entwined, pen pals finding refuge in the unknown, and a politician whose string becomes a powder keg in an increasingly turbulent world. As society divides itself, the truth has the power to unravel their long-held beliefs and relationships all while forging new alliances and philosophies about our time on this earth and our place in the community. Both heartbreaking and profoundly uplifting, The Measure is a sweeping, ambitious meditation on life, family, and society that challenges us to consider the best way to live life to the fullest. 700 1 $a Whelan, Julia, $e narrator. 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio. 710 2 $a Findaway World, LLC. 941 $a 3 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012011728.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220903010534.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220902010500.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8B8B6B762A8411ED94E10AE24EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
