Description
Dana's world is shattered when she vanishes from California in 1976 and finds herself in antebellum Maryland. Summoned to the past to rescue a boy named Rufus, Dana soon realizes her purpose: protect Rufus to ensure his assault of her Black ancestor, thereby allowing her own birth.
As Dana endures the traumas of slavery, she fights to keep her autonomy and return to the present. This powerful novel explores the horrors of American slavery and its lasting impact on the present day.
Octavia E. Butler's masterful storytelling infuses a familiar trope with depth and power, creating a gripping narrative that is both controlled and precise in its portrayal of one of America's darkest periods.
