The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow

Oh bravo - this was a fun read! Three separated sisters pulled apart by an abusive past are reunited by the return of the tower of Avalon. With it, they rediscover each other and innate powers they use towards improving the plight of women in New Salem, a town oppressed by a righteous Mayor, who isn't quite what he seems. This is a story of female empowerment as they grow into their strengths and the ability to right wrongs, to find love that actually means something, and to spread hope. The story twines through historical events of the late 1800s, lending just enough credence to make it all feel possible and believable. It left me feeling that I too might already have the words and the ways to share in the power. Fabulous! I highly recommend this book!
