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 stay grows 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.

Forced to discover what she can about her stolen former life, she must at the same time learn who wanted@95@mdash;and still wants@95@mdash;to destroy her and those she cares for, and how she can save herself. @18@Fledgling@19@ is a captivating novel that tests the limits of "otherness" and questions what it means to be truly human.@16@@16@@16@@18@From the Hardcover edition.@19@
