White Oak African American Book Club - In-person

Join us for a discussion of Kindred by Octavia Butler.

The title Kindred is on hold at the White Oak Library and can be picked up any time the library is open. It is also available on Libby as an ebook and Hoopla as an eAudiobook.

Synopsis from Goodreads: Dana, a modern Black woman, is celebrating her twenty-sixth birthday with her new husband 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 stays grow 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.
