"T he Edge of Yesterday is a spinning, swirling novel of extraordinary imagination. Readers are transported back and forth in time in an unforgettable story of second chances and what ifs."--Elizabeth Gonzalez James, author of The Bullet Swallower "Fans of historical fiction will love this gorgeous, surreal tale of two lives across time, one drawn to the past, the other to the future, both seeking escape and both forever changed by the devastating consequences of their choices."--Veronica G. Henry, author of The Canopy Keepers " The Edge of Yesterday is a delicious time travel adventure that feels epic and 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 Praise for The Last Dreamwalker : " The Last Dreamwalker will pull you headlong into its perilous world, where three generations of women haunted by history take actions in dreams that can save or doom others in daylight. Like her dreamwalking characters, the talented Woods weaves unforgettable, inescapable magic. A triumph."--Greer Macallister, bestselling author of The Magician's Lie "Deeply evocative and clings to you like the humid air of the South. It is a creepy, moving tale in which intergenerational trauma reaches out of dreams and makes the waking world a nightmare. I keep thinking about it."--Mary Robinette Kowal, Hugo Award-winning author of The Calculating Stars "Vivid descriptions and well-developed characters."-- Booklist "A beautiful and compelling book about the histories we hide and the places we forget. It's about buried truths and dreams too long-deferred, and the hope that comes after."--Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Ten Thousand Doors of January "Thoroughly entrancing and hauntingly mystical. Rita Woods has woven a deeply complex novel where dreams blur reality and old family secrets torment the waking world. Long after it's finished The Last Dreamwalker will linger in your thoughts as you pull its threads apart to examine the vibrant textures a little more closely."--Heather Webber, USA Today bestselling author of Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe "Family life is the grounding for a compelling story of strange powers and old secrets."-Kirkus Reviews "I loved this fantastical tale of powerful, unapologetic women taking their agency and paving the path that they deserved."--Keisha Bush, author of No Heaven for Good Boys "A fascinating novel of a family heritage that is both gift and curse, of the struggle of once-enslaved mystics and their contemporary descendants to command their power, and to take their rightful place in the world. Dr. Woods displays a wonderfully sure hand with her prose, and a delightful mastery of dialect. I love this book both for its voice and its story of a painful history set right."--Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches, "T he Edge of Yesterday is a spinning, swirling novel of extraordinary imagination.

This is a time travel book like no other! The Edge of Yesterday had me on the edge of my seat during this wholly unpredictable and ingenious ride. I cheered for Monty and Greer from beginning to end, over achievers who refuse to accept their fate. And what an end! Woods knows the painful history of race in America, especially in the roaring twenties, and science's limitations on healing illnesses in our present day and the impact of both on the human body and soul. Stunning, heart-stirring, razor sharp!"--Jimin Han, author of The Apology "A time traveling vortex in the shape of a book, The Edge of Yesterday is a story that soars through time to both celebrate and mourn the past. Heartbreaking, raw, complicated, and vast, Rita Woods does it again."--J.R. Dawson, award-winning author of The First Bright Thing, Praise for The Last Dreamwalker : " The Last Dreamwalker will pull you headlong into its perilous world, where three generations of women haunted by history take actions in dreams that can save or doom others in daylight.

Synopsis
The Edge of Yesterday is a haunting contemporary speculative novel about time travel and finding yourself from award-winning author Rita Woods. Greer Coffey is a principal dancer with a renowned Harlem company. Sebastian Coffey is an architect with a prestigious Midtown firm. The Coffey's are the ultimate dream couple -- until their world completely unravels. After Greer develops a career ending neurologic disorder, she finds herself back in her hometown of Detroit. Angry, lonely, her marriage buckling under the strain, she takes to aimlessly wandering the city streets. One night, she stumbles through a vortex, a portal through time that transports her back into 1925 Detroit, where she meets a handsome, charming doctor. Dr. Montgomery Gray is a member of Detroit's Black Aristocracy, wealthy and connected to some of the most powerful Black families in the country. Detroit in 1925 is the beating heart of an industrial nation, but it is also a tinderbox of poor immigrants, Prohibition driven gang wars, and the Klan. As a member of the Talented Tenth, Monty is expected to be the tip of the spear in the fight for the Race, no matter the cost. Exhausted, frustrated, and longing to break free of expectations, he is stunned to find a woman from the future roaming Detroit's Black Bottom. Initially cautious, Monty and Greer slowly grow increasingly exhilarated with the visits. For Greer, 1925 offers an escape from the sorrow of her "real life," and for Monty, the future that Greer lays before him is irresistible. But 2025 becomes gradually less and less recognizable, as each visit back through time causes increasing rips in the timeline. Ultimately, Greer finds herself trapped in 1925 and Monty is forced into a deadly confrontation that changes the trajectory of his life.
