Book Title: Parable of the Sower

Author: Octavia Butler

Selection Statement:

Octavia Butler’s work has been a bedrock for me, helping me to acknowledge both the power and the inevitability of change. As her main character would say: “All that you touch, You Change. All that you Change, Changes you. The only lasting truth Is Change.”
