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 across the years to save him. after this first summons, Dana is drawn back, again and again, to teh plantation to protect Rufus and ensure that he will grow to manhood and father the daughter who will become Dana's ancestor.

This is a great book. Very hard to put down.
