In a society where any vulnerability is a risk, she suffers from hyperempathy, a debilitating sensitivity to others&#8217; emotions.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Precocious and clear-eyed, Lauren must make her voice heard in order to protect her loved ones from the imminent disasters her small community stubbornly ignores. But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: the birth of a new faith . . . and a startling vision of human destiny.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>Sign up\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001QO9OpTJ8blNyqJVzUWbakDCrbNr2O_sga5cZtIGU_c4wsFHZZxY3ByWJ71iC0nbIAHRUAaKZ7ORD7xNyErBOXA8faXrHCkNZR96CzUIIPD-j7uNZgErNPv29jkNPqaub8-Fqbele79CTLLwyRm5JTFGget0RBMOF56814-Je0iB5qiPOU72YYQ==&amp;c=ekuSFp3o7ayKk_slt2eELx1m0aAKHU96cHIb4je6jIIB3TpFCnccag==&amp;ch=pNorVy45wjRN86l4eLtg8GUoTrCVlyN7rCrOQgKZRa-g72PrbOwczg==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f%3D001QO9OpTJ8blNyqJVzUWbakDCrbNr2O_sga5cZtIGU_c4wsFHZZxY3ByWJ71iC0nbIAHRUAaKZ7ORD7xNyErBOXA8faXrHCkNZR96CzUIIPD-j7uNZgErNPv29jkNPqaub8-Fqbele79CTLLwyRm5JTFGget0RBMOF56814-Je0iB5qiPOU72YYQ%3D%3D%26c%3DekuSFp3o7ayKk_slt2eELx1m0aAKHU96cHIb4je6jIIB3TpFCnccag%3D%3D%26ch%3DpNorVy45wjRN86l4eLtg8GUoTrCVlyN7rCrOQgKZRa-g72PrbOwczg%3D%3D&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1693342838599000&amp;usg=AOvVaw00oTnhdfxI97Z8dRNLDXBh\">here\u00a0<\/a>to join the book club.
