Octavia Butler's Parable of the TalentsOctavia Butler's Parable of the Talents

"... told in the voice of Lauren Olamina's daughter, Asha Vere--from whom she has been separated for most of the girl's life--interspersed with sections in the form of Lauren's own journals. Asha searches for answers about her past while struggling to reconcile with her mother's legacy--caught between her duty to her chosen family and her calling to lead humankind into a better future among the stars."--Provided by publisher.
