Set in 2024-2027, The Parable of the Sower is a relevant and tough read for the current world today. It's uncanny how shockingly real this book is, having been published in 1993. A coming of age story that explores themes of power, authority, morals, survival, and community. Can be graphic at times. Check content warnings.
