A perfect introduction for new readers and a must-have for avid fans, this New York Times Notable Book includes "Bloodchild," winner of both the Hugo and the Nebula awards and "Speech Sounds," winner of the Hugo Award. Appearing in print for the first time, "Amnesty" is a story of a woman named Noah who works to negotiate the tense and co-dependent relationship between humans and a species of invaders. Also new to this collection is "The Book of Martha" which asks: What would you do if God granted you the ability—and responsibility—to save humanity from itself?
Like all of Octavia Butler's best writing, these works of the imagination are parables of the contemporary world. She proves constant in her vigil, an unblinking pessimist hoping to be proven wrong, and one of contemporary literature's strongest voices.

Against the authors statments do many readers see a slavery allegory in this short story, and that is really telling given this is a story about putting a boy in a girls position. About the circumstances and pressures factoring into submitting into a partnership and carry anothers legacy at the risk of death and suffering. How many love stories really are not about love at all and how we would see a lot of things thay were normal or still are in a very different light, if it where not men doing it to women.
This is not a read for anyone being squeemish and as a short story requires you to fill in blanks foe the full experience.
I personaly loved it!
