Below is the blurb
Winner of both the Hugo and Nebula awards, Octavia E. Butler was considered one of the best science fiction writers of her generation. Kindred tells the story of a Dana, a modern black woman, celebrating her birthday in California with her new husband in 1976 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.
