At age eight, Jenny Rowan was abducted and kept for two years in a box beneath her captor's bed. Eventually she escaped and, after living for eighteen months on cast-offs at the local mall, was put into the child-care system.Suing for emancipation, at age sixteen she became legally an adult.Nowadays she works as a production editor for the local public TV station, and is one of the world's good people.One evening she returns home to find a detective waiting for her. Though records are sealed, he somehow knows her story. He asks if she can help him with a young woman who, like her many years ago, has been abducted and traumatized.Initially hesitant, one decides to get involved, reviving buried memories and leading to a stunning connection. As brilliantly spare and compact as are all of James Sallis's novels, Others of My Kind, his fifteenth, stands apart for its female protagonist. Set in a near future of political turmoil, it is a story of how we overcome, how we shape ourselves by what happens to us. Of how the human spirit, whatever horrors it undergoes, will not be put down.
