This acclaimed post-apocalyptic novel of hope and terror from an award-winning
author "pairs well with 1984 or The Handmaid's Tale" and includes a foreword
by N. K. Jemisin (John Green, New York Times).

When global climate change and economic crises lead to social chaos in the
early 2020s, California becomes full of dangers, from pervasive water shortage
to masses of vagabonds who will do anything to live to see another day.
Fifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives inside a gated community with her
preacher father, family, and neighbors, sheltered from the surrounding
anarchy. In a society where any vulnerability is a risk, she suffers from
hyperempathy, a debilitating sensitivity to others' emotions.

Precocious and clear-eyed, Lauren must make her voice heard in order to
protect her loved ones from the imminent disasters her small community
stubbornly ignores. But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to
something much more: the birth of a new faith . . . and a startling vision of
human destiny.
