Mindwalker

What if you could enter another person's mind and erase the memories that haunt them the most? Set in a future where the government has typed people according to their potential for violence, Mindwalker is a provocative, fast paced narrative in the vein of The Giver and Marie Lu's Legend.

Lain Fisher is the daughter of the Republic's most pioneering scientist and inventor of "mindwalking"--a healing art that uses technology to erase traumatic memories. Lain is just in high school, but is already considered a protégé--the youngest therapist ever to master the complex art. When the mysterious new kid at school--Steven--comes to her for help, the scientists tell Lain to stay away from him. His scars are too deep; the risk too great. Yet the more Lain gets to know Steven, the more she starts to wonder about the world she lives in. Is it really a world that heals, or is it one that destroys? Lain never expected to be a rule breaker. But then, she never expected to stumble into a conspiracy and ignite a revolution. And she certainly didn't expect to fall in love with a boy whose every memory of her she must now erase in order to save him.
