A stunning new contemporary edition of Octavia E. Butler's award-winning sequel to Parable of the Sower. With an introduction by Akwaeke Emezi.
'Octavia Butler was playing out our very real possibilities as humans' GLORIA STEINEM
In order for me to understand who I am, I must begin to understand who she was.
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.
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.
WINNER OF THE NEBULA AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL
Praise for Octavia E. Butler
'Unnervingly prescient and wise' YAA GYASI
'Butler's prose, always pared back to the bone, delineates the painful paradoxes of metamorphosis with compelling precision' GUARDIAN

'An icon of the Afrofuturism world, envisioning literary realms that placed black characters front and center' VANITY FAIR
'Octavia Butler was a visionary' VIOLA DAVIS
