About this book
Dana, a Black writer living in California in 1976, is pulled back repeatedly to a Maryland plantation. Her survival becomes bound up with Rufus, a white boy whose future is connected to her own family history. Butler uses the journeys to examine how quickly everyday relationships can be reshaped by the power slavery gives one person over another.
