Dana, a modern black woman, 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. Rufus, the white son of a plantation owner, is drowning, and Dana has been summoned across the years to save him. After this first summons, Dana is drawn back, again and again, to the plantation to protect Rufus and ensure that he will grow to manhood and father the daughter who will become Dana's ancestor. Yet each time Dana's sojourns become longer and more dangerous until it is uncertain whether or not her life will end, long before it has even begun. 1049657 book 1979 Kindred total:4230|5:1620|4:1616|3:756|2:184|1:54| 4230 17254 5704 751 5 9 false false Tue Jul 22 14:58:46 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 22 15:00:13 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 6 false false Tue Apr 15 00:00:00 -0700 1997 Wed Apr 23 16:36:56 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 23 17:20:40 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 3 false false Fri Feb 20 09:58:18 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 20 10:00:42 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 3 false false Fri Apr 18 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 19 11:56:37 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 19 12:06:26 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Thu Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Mon Jan 19 14:20:46 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 14:21:43 -0800 2009
