In The Edge of Yesterday, Rita Woods offers a fresh and unique take to time travel--and its possible reality bending ramifications. Somewhere between Octavia Butler's Kindred and Blake Crouch's recursion, this story forces us to confront both the ghosts of our past and the unforeseen consequences of trying to alter it. Both gripping and haunting, I could not put this one down!
P. Djeli ClarkBest selling author of Ring Shout
The Edge of Yesterday by Rita Woods is a delicious time travel adventure that feels epic an intimate, fresh and startling. Juxtaposing the possibilities and constraints of 2025 and 1925, Woods conjures compelling characters in wonderfully detailed settings to speculate on what ideas about the future mean to the past. Her characters ask themselves if who they happen to be is who they mean to be. A question for us all.
-- Andrea Hairston,Author of Archangels of Funk
