This online book discussion is part of our Commit to Your Community program series. We're in Chapter 3: Advocate for Change.

For our final book discussion in the Commit to Your Community series, we're going to read The Parable of the Sower, a classic speculative fiction book by Octavia Butler.  Published in 1993 and set in 2025(!), Butler shows us a world affected by climate change in ways that, while more extreme than what we are currently experiencing, seem more and more possible to us today. Join us to discuss this classic "hero's journey" with a strong young woman at its heart, which explores the nature of change and how we humans relate to it.

Request a copy or find it on OverDrive and join us on Zoom to discuss (link will be sent at 5 pm that day).
