The story centers around a young black woman (Dana) and her husband (Kevin, who is white) in 1976 living in California. One day she experiences a dizzy spell and blacks out. When she comes too she is in the country watching a woman screaming for help to save her son. Dana helps resuscitate the boy and finds herself in another place and time. Then she returns to present day. This happens throughout the young mans' life when he finds himself in mortal danger. The concept of time travel is not something I generally read about. However, Dana is transported back to an area outside of Easton, MD during the early 1800's and the young man is the heir to a slave plantation. Vividly describes the unbearable pain and torture of slavery and shows the bonds that existed between the owners and their slaves. Engaging and interesting twists and turns in the story!
