<p><b>From the celebrated author, the thrilling sequel to <i>Parable of the Sower</i> - an extraordinary novel ahead of its time. </b></p><p>'In the ongoing contest over which dystopian classic is most applicable to our time... for sheer peculiar prescience, Butler's novel may be unmatched'<b> NEW YORKER</b></p><p>'Octavia Butler was playing out our very real possibilities as humans. I think she can help each of us to do the same' <b>GLORIA STEINEM</b></p><p><i>In order for me to understand who I am, I must begin to understand who she </i><i>was.</i></p><p>Asha was born into a broken world. There are many things she needs to know: how her country could embrace a violent, far-right President promising to make America great again, why they turned a blind eye to the suffering - and the truth about her mother.</p><p>In her journals, Lauren Olamina tells of a great love divided between her young daughter, her community and the revelation that led her to found a new faith that teaches 'God Is Change'. But under a tyrannical religious regime who consider the mere existence of a black female leader a threat, Lauren knows she must soon either sacrifice her daughter and her followers - or forsake the beliefs that could transform human destiny.<br><br><b>PRAISE FOR OCTAVIA E.
