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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrecocious 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Silk \u0026 Spine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42190771945575,"sku":"9781538732182","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1249\/3671\/files\/IMG_1232.jpg?v=1780889891","url":"https:\/\/silkandspine.org\/products\/parable-of-the-sower","provider":"Silk \u0026 Spine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
