Home is a new house with a loving husband in 1970s California that suddenly transformed in to the frightening world of the antebellum South.

This searing graphic-novel adaptation of Octavia E. Butler's science fiction classic is a powerfully moving, unflinching look at the violent disturbing effects of slavery on the people it chained together, both black and white--and made kindred in the deepest sense of the word.
