In this graphic-novel adaptation of Octavia E. Butler’s
Parable of the Sower
by Damian Duffy and John Jennings, the award-winning team behind
Kindred: A Graphic Novel Adaptation
, the author portrays a searing vision of America’s future.
In the year 2024, the country is marred by unattended environmental and economic crises that lead to social chaos. Lauren Olamina, a preacher’s daughter living in Los Angeles, is protected from danger by the walls of her gated community.
In a night of fire and death, what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: a startling vision of human destiny . . . and the birth of a new faith.
