Rita Woods wrote Remembrance, a fictional historical novel. Abigail is one of the characters and her story starts in 1791. Margot and Winter meet Abigail in 1863. Gaelle lives in the present time working at a nursing home in Ohio where she meets Winter. I guess that makes Winter over 150 years old. One thing all the women in the story have in common besides the dark brown skin is a magic power. Winter and Gaelle can create heat and fire just by concentrating. Margo can touch a person and feel their feelings and know what medical problems they have inside them. Abigail has the best superpower (in my opinion) because she can shift space and time in the environment and create a safe space for her and other black people that white people cannot enter. The name of the safe space she creates is called Remembrance. As Abigail gets closer to the end of her life, her powers fail and she has no one who can take over her job and keep Remembrance safe from the slave traders. This is a complicated story that jumps back and forth in time. I enjoyed the story. I think I enjoyed Margot the most.
