In a far future, post-nuclear-holocaust Africa, genocide plagues one region. The aggressors, the Nuru, have decided to follow the Great Book and exterminate the Okeke. But when the only surviving member of a slain Okeke village is brutally raped, she manages to escape, wandering farther into the desert. She gives birth to a baby girl with hair and skin the color of sand and instinctively knows that her daughter is different.

Imaginative and Fierce
Revisado: 05-09-18
Let me get out of the way that I hated the narrator's voice and how she utilized a strange accent for an African nation.
The story was filled with magic, the real struggles of Nations and the people within them trying to overcome prejudice. I loved listening to a different version of an African nation then what is seen on television. it was a blend of futurism and apocalyptic village scenes with a few mythical beings.
If you're ready for something strange and captivating with an authentic view African culture with some futuristic and some plausible twists give this book a try.

God is change. That is the central truth of the Earthseed movement, whose unlikely prophet is 18-year-old Lauren Olamina. The young woman's diary entries tell the story of her life amid a violent 21st-century hell of walled neighborhoods and drug-crazed pyromaniacs - and reveal her evolving Earthseed philosophy. Against a backdrop of horror emerges a message of hope: if we are willing to embrace divine change, we will survive to fulfill our destiny among the stars.

Describing our Potential Present
Revisado: 03-22-18
This book is set in the future and unfortunately it does not seem so far-fetched . When it was written, the make America great mottos, gun control issues and deep divisions between the Haves and Have Nots of today or in the authors imagination. there is a fragile hope in the book that speaks to the the persistent spirit of a few in this world willing to fight to overcome all to survive. Part of the moral of the story is that we need to work together and not be divided by social standing, Financial power or racial divisions.
This was a difficult, dark and all too real read and an excellent book.
