Parable of the Sower - The Parable of the Sower

From a celebrated, award-winning author, a modern classic about a young girl struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world, perfect for fans of NK Jemisin and Margaret Atwood.
Fifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives in a gated community with her preacher father, family, and neighbors, sheltered from the surrounding social chaos and anarchy caused by climate change and the economic crisis. In a society where any vulnerability is a risk, she suffers from hyperempathy, a debilitating sensitivity to the emotions of others.

Precocious and bright-eyed, Lauren must make her voice heard to protect her loved ones from the impending disasters her small community stubbornly ignores. But what begins as a struggle for survival soon leads to something much more: the birth of a new faith... and a surprising vision of human destiny.
Includes a foreword by LeVar Burton and an afterword by NK Jemisin
Lauren's story continues in The Parable of the Talents.
