"Sometimes I wrote things because I couldn’t say them… couldn’t keep them bottled inside me." -- Dana

In her ground-breaking masterpiece, Butler explores the idea of familial and spiritual connections spanning cen turies, physical travel beyond time and space, and an unexplainable bond be tween an aspiring writer from NYC and a ne'er-do-well enslaver in the South of her ancestors. Once highly contested as science fiction, Kindred has earned its rightful place as a neo-slave narrative within the canon of African–American contemporary fiction.

Dana, a modern Black w oman, is celebrating her 26th birthday with her new husband when she is sna tched abruptly from her home in California and transported to the antebellu m South. Rufus, the white son of a plantation owner, is drowning, and Dana has somehow been summoned across centuries and miles to save him. Dana is d rawn back repeatedly through time to the dilapidated quarters of enslaved p eople. Against her will, each time her stay grows longer, more arduous, and more dangerous until it is uncertain whether or not Dana’s life will end, long before it has a chance to begin. (Ericka S.)
