description: I lost an arm on my last trip home. Home is a new house with a loving husband in 1970s California that suddenly transformed in to the frightening world of the antebellum South. Dana a young black writer can't explain how she is transported across time and space to a plantation in Maryland. But she does quickly understand why: to deal with the troubles of Rufus a conflicted white slaveholder--and her progenitor. Her survival her very existence depends on it. This searing graphic-novel adaptation of Octavia E. Butler's science fiction classic is a powerfully moving unflinching look at the violent disturbing effects of slavery on the people it chained together both black and white--and made kindred in the deepest sense of the word.
