The Selah Branch (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781543057836)

When you're Black in America, time travel can be deadly.

As a black college student in the rural West Virginia town of Selah Station, Kenia Dezy already feels out of place. But when an unexplained phenomenon starts transporting her back to pre-civil rights 1953, she finds herself woven into a tapestry of racial triumphs and tragedies.

Kenia begins to unravel secrets that powerful men would rather keep hidden, even if it means massacring an entire town through an industrial accident. At the intersection of race, class, gender and privilege, Kenia must navigate a community wresting with its past and and present, to avert disaster.

Current, relevant, and timely, The Selah Branch has received numerous award. Fans of N.K. Jemisin, Nnedi Okarafor, and Rivers Solomon will see their influence. But more than anything, readers of Octavia Butler will appreciate this homage to her classic, Kindred.
