Kindred

Dana is celebrating her twenty-sixth birthday with her new husband when she is snatched abruptly from her home in California and transported to the antebellum South. Dana, who is Black, has been summoned to save Rufus, the White son of a plantation owner, who is drowning. She is drawn back repeatedly through time to the slave quarters and each time her stays grow longer and more dangerous. She begins to worry that her 21st century life is ending and she will be asked to live permanently in the 19th century as a slave.
