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 to save him. Dana is drawn back repeatedly through time to the slave quarters, and each time the 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.
This book was an intense read, genuinely making me feel stressed sometimes. I'm mostly left speechless. I don't even know how to describe the wide array of feelings this book made me go through. A must read, in my opinion.
Important book which takes you on a wild journey on a plantation. Great reminder that knowing something and feeling it are two very different things.
It should be on the top 10 list of Science Fiction for all time. This book does what all great sci-fi does it bends your world and makes you look at it in a way that you wouldn’t otherwise have need to and in the end, you’re better off for it.
