The first science fiction written by a black woman, Kindred has become a cornerstone of black American literature. This combination of slave memoir, fantasy, and historical fiction is a novel of rich literary complexity. Having just celebrated her 26th birthday in 1976 California, Dana, an African-American woman, is suddenly and inexplicably wrenched through time into antebellum Maryland. After saving a drowning white boy there, she finds herself staring into the barrel of a shotgun and is transported back to the present just in time to save her life. During numerous such time-defying episodes with the same young man, she realizes the challenge she's been given: to protect this young slaveholder until he can father her own great-grandmother.

Kindred - Read it!
Great book! I don't know why I never heard of it before, but since I'm doing my genealogy, a friend recommended it. Since I'm working in the past myself, this was very apropos. Couldn't put it down!

Blast from the past
I read this book when I was a teen. And decided that it had to be part of my personal library, now, many years later.

A must read
We chose this book for The Inner Circle Book Club selection for April and I am already finished! I absolutely enjoyed reading this book. It was a great story about forgiveness and overcoming that compels you because of the wit and realness in the story telling. I cannot wait to read more books by Carleen Brice.
