In 1976, on her 26th birthday, Dana Franklin is pulled through time and space from her Los Angeles home to a slave plantation in Maryland, 160 years in the past. There, she discovers she is intimately linked to a young white boy, her ancestor, without whom Dana will never be born.
While only a year passes in Dana’s Los Angeles life, her trips to the past, to Rufus, take place over several years, in which she endures life as a slave while forced to protect Rufus’s many near-death experiences to preserve her own future.
Blending the historical with the speculative and the factual with the fantastical, Kindred is a chilling excavation of chattel slavery in America, told in Butler’s stark and evocative style.
This exciting new audio edition is narrated by award-winning actress CCH Pounder, who has appeared most recently in James Cameron’s AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH and Paramount Pictures’ THE NAKED GUN as well as the Netflix film, RUSTIN, the Max series, FULL CIRCLE, the Netflix series, 3 BODY PROBLEM, Hulu’s BLACK CAKE and AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER.
