Kindred
Octavia E. Butler (Author), Larry Schwinger
Dana, a young modern black woman is celebrating her twenty-sixth birthday with her new husband when she is snatched from her home in California and transported to the antebellum South. Rufus, the white son of a plantation owner, is drowning, and Dana has been summoned across the years to save him, as he will father the daughter who will become Dana's ancestor. After the first summons, Dana is drawn back, again and again, to the plantation to protect Rufus and each time, the sojourns become longer and more dangerous until it is uncertain whether or not her life will end, long before it has even begun
