Five essays on Lauren’s hyperempathy, the blindness of a walled community, “God is Change,” trust among strangers, and keeping Acorn from hardening into coercion.
Octavia E. Butler's 1993 work Parable of the Sower. The opening essay can serve as an introduction; the remaining 4 essays contain full-story spoilers.
