Octavia E. Butler\'s Parable of the Talents: A Graphic Novel Adaptation is the continuation of the travails of Lauren Olamina. Brought to life by Damian Duffy and John Jennings, the creative team behind the #1 New York Times bestseller Kindred: A Graphic Novel Adaptation, Parable of the Talents is told in the voice of Lauren Olamina\'s daughter, Asha Vere - from whom she has been separated for most of the girl\'s life - interspersed with sections in the form of Lauren\'s own journals. Against a background of a war-torn continent under the control of a Christian fundamentalist fascist state, Asha searches for answers about her own past while struggling to reconcile with her mother\'s legacy - caught between her duty to her chosen family and her calling to lead humankind into a better future among the stars.
