"Voodoo kept her safe; now it may destroy her." -- Front cover.
Summary:
"For centuries, there have been rumors, whispers in the fields and behind sheets of laundry. Remembrance - a place of sanctuary of freedom - and perhaps magic. If you could make it there. Now, three women, separated by time and oceans, but alike in desperation, seek its refuge. 1791, Haiti: The island is on the brink of revolution, and Abigail is forced to flee with her mistress, leaving her children behind. 1857, New Orleans: Promised her freedom on her eighteenth birthday, Margot is sold away just days before to settle her master's debts. Present day, Cleveland: Gaelle struggles to rebuild her life in America after losing nearly everything in a devastating earthquake. With no other place to turn, the rumor of an anciet magic calls to Gaelle, Abigail, and Margot from across the centuries. Built on voodoo and protected by secrecy, Remembrance just may be their last hope on the road to freedom." -- Back cover.
