Parable Of the Sower is the odyssey of one woman who is 

twice as feeling in a world that has become doubly dehumanized.

The time is 2025. The place is California, where small walled

communities must protect themselves from hordes of desperate

scavengers and roaming bands of "Paints," people addicted to

a drug that activates an orgasmic desire to burn, rape and murder.

When one small community is overrun, Lauren Olamina, an 18

year old back woman, sets off on foot, moving north along the

dangerous coastal highways. She is a "sharer," one who suffers

from a hereditary trait called "hyperempathy," which causes her 

to feel others' pain as well as her own. 

Parable Of the Sower is both a coming of age novel and a road

novel, set in the near future, when the dying embers of our old

civilization can either cool or be the catalyst for something new.
