Best Answer

The book kindred is about A black woman named Dana who has the ability to go back in time. She cannot control her gift and is thrusted into the early 1800's where blacks are slaves. She battles through hardships because of her race. She must save a boy named Rufus because after their second encounter she believes that he is her great great great grandfather. She travels back and forth when Rufus calls her when he is in the midst of trouble and drags along anything that is in her possession including a knife, a pocket book, and her white husband Kevin. In my opinion it is a good book. I liked it and it is very detailed. I would recommend it to all ages over 14 because i read it at 16 and most of my classmates did not understand the book.

Me and my class just finished reading the book,were now reading Dangerous minds which is awesome,but reading kindred at first didn't interest me at all but then as i got to the middle and began to understand what was going on it became more interesting and I couldn't put it down,I too recomend this book.

Because the person in it has a kindred spirit, meaning they are kind.
