Kindred

Kindred has to be one of my favorite books. I wouldn't have picked up a book like this at a book store or a library. If I didn't have to read it for class I would've never even notice it. I tend to swim towards romantic,comedies,mystery and thrillers. I;m not even sure which category this book falls under but I do know that this book is amazing! Dana a modern women goes back in time to save her ancestor Rufus (WHICH HAPPENS TO BE  A WHITE Slave owner.)
Octavia Butler has this great way of describing the slavery down south.  The characters are believable and even though she had eased down on how brutal slavery is she managed to make us despise it. I recommend for everyone to read it. It's one of a kind.
