   Remembrance - Rita Woods
                Debut

A little historical fiction, a little magical realism, and 3 really strong women characters. We meet Abigail in Haiti, Margo in New Orleans, and Winter in Remembrance.

.  Set a few years before the civil war with the issue of slavery and some fantasy mixed in with the power of black magic and special gifts that each woman has.  Abigail, Margo and Winter each have many choices to face and must learn how to use their powers.

Goodreads says it better:

Remembrance by Rita Woods is a breakout historical debut with modern resonance, perfect for the many fans of The Underground Railroad and Orphan Train.

Remembrance…It’s a rumor, a whisper passed in the fields and veiled behind sheets of laundry. A hidden stop on the underground road to freedom, a safe haven protected by more than secrecy…if you can make it there.

Ohio, present day. An elderly woman who is more than she seems warns against rising racism as a young woman grapples with her life.

Haiti, 1791, on the brink of revolution. When the slave Abigail is forced from her children to take her mistress to safety, she discovers New Orleans has its own powers.

1857 New Orleansa city of unrest: Following tragedy, house girl Margot is sold just before her 18th birthday and her promised freedom. Desperate, she escapes and chases a whisper.... Remembrance.
