She is a realist, writing the most detailed social criticism and creating some of the most fascinating female characters in the genre real women caught in impossible situations." —Dorothy Allison, The Village Voice"Butler's literary craftsmanship is superb." —The Washington Post Book World"Her books are disturbing, unsettling… In a field dominated by white male authors, Butler's African-American feminist perspective is unique, and uniquely suited to reshape the boundaries of the sci-fi genre." —Bill Glass, L.

"Very well done!" according to Kindle Customer. Excellent, but everything she has written has been! I didn't know, have never read this genre before I wrote my own black female returns to slavery through time travel, novel.I only wish I could speak to Ms. Butler today.Frankly, I think she would love the series The Walking Dead!

Would be an excellent book for high schoolers.
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.
