Remembrance by Michelle Madow
Transcend Time Book 1
Lizzie Davenport has been reincarnated from Regency Era, England ... but she doesn't know it yet.
Then Drew Carmichael transfers into Lizzie's high school at the beginning of the year, and she feels a connection to him, almost like she knows him. She can't stop thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking with him about the mysteries behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Reaching him is even more difficult because she has a boyfriend, Jeremy, who has started to become full of himself after being elected co-captain of the varsity soccer team, and her flirtatious best friend Chelsea starts dating Drew soon after his arrival. So why can't she get him out of her mind?
Even though Lizzie knows she should let go of her fascination with Drew, fighting fate isn't going to be easy.

HOW TAYLOR SWIFT’S “LOVE STORY” MUSIC VIDEO INSPIRED REMEMBRANCE
The
“Love Story” music video premiered in the fall of 2008. The first time I
watched it, I was entranced. Taylor sees a guy while walking through
campus, and the moment their eyes connect, the scene flashes to the two
of them dancing at a beautiful ball dressed in clothes that appear to be
from around the year 1815. It’s magical to watch, and the video is so
amazing that it gave me chills. I watched it over and over again, and a
story started to piece together in my mind. A story about a girl
reincarnated from Regency Era, England, who doesn’t realize it until her
soul mate transfers into her school and triggers her memories to
gradually return to her.
In
that semester at school, I was taking a class called Intro to Creative
Writing. One of our first big assignments in class was to write anything
we wanted and bring it in to share with everyone. Since the characters
and scenes that came to me while watching “Love Story” refused to leave
my mind, I decided that for the project, I would write the first chapter
of what I then called “The Story Inspired by ‘Love Story.’”
After
completing the chapter, I stared at it for about an hour, worrying
about what my classmates would think after reading it. I assumed
everyone else would write about “normal” topics—not reincarnation and
seeing your soulmate from the past for the first time! What if they
thought what I wrote was weird? I nearly erased it in favor of turning
something else in, but then I remembered something Taylor had said:
"If you’re lucky enough to be different from everyone else, don't change."
I
listened to her advice. Yes, what I wrote was going to be way different
from what everyone else in class wrote, but I was okay with that. And
after I read the chapter aloud to the class, I was amazed to find out
that everyone in my class, including my teacher, loved it. Actually,
they more than loved it—they wanted to read more!
But
I had never written a novel before, and the idea of making the plunge
and going for it intimidated me. What if I failed and couldn’t finish
it? That worried me, but again, I remembered something Taylor had said:
"To
me, fearless isn't not having fears; it's not that you're not afraid of
anything. I think that being fearless is having a lot of fears, but you
jump anyway."
So I jumped.
And now, three years after I saw the “Love Story” music video for the first time, my debut novel Remembrance
is finally available for everyone to read. I’m so happy to be able to
share it with you. I can only hope that if you choose to read it, you
end up enjoying it as much as I loved writing it!
Thank you for taking the time to read my story about how “Love Story” and Taylor Swift helped me get to where I am today!
