Adulthood Rites

In Dawn, the first book of Butler's Xenogenesis series, Lilith Iyapo was rescued from a cataclysmic nuclear war on Earth by the alien Oankali. Now she has given birth to a child who is half-human and half-Oankali. But the purebred humans resent the half-breeds. They seek to cleanse Earth of these special children who, like their Oankali parents, are filled with love and the spirit of giving.
