Parable of the talents / Octavia E. Butler.

Parable of talents (portion title)
Butler, Octavia E., (author.).

Summary:

"In 2032, Lauren Olamina has survived the destruction of her home and family, and realized her vision of a peaceful community in northern California based on her newly founded faith, Earthseed. The fledgling community provides refuge for outcasts facing persecution after the election of an ultra-conservative president who vows to 'make America great again.' In an increasingly divided and dangerous nation, Lauren's subversive colony--a minority religious faction led by a young black woman--becomes a target for President Jarret's reign of terror and oppression"--Provided by publisher.
