Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the sower / a graphic novel adaptation by Damian Duffy and John Jennings ; introduction by Nalo Hopkinson.
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. However, 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.

In a postapocalyptic CA, teenager Lauren leaves what's left of her family to trek north, away from the chaos and death toward a hopefully safer place to live. Developing her own religion she calls "Earthseed," she shares her ideas with friends and allies she gathers along the way. Adapted from Butler's searing dystopian novel in blocky art with colors of flame and earth.
