In a utopian world where pain, uncertainty, and indecision are things of the past and Sameness is the ideal, 12-year-old Jonas has been anointed the new "Receiver of Memory," the one member of the community who will hold knowledge of the time before Sameness. To receive this knowledge, he'll have to spend time with "The Giver," the previous holder of memory, who'll be Jonas' guide into the old world, where pain and happiness existed in equal parts.
