While caught in the crossfire of a raging civil war, a patchouli-wearing, humanitarian must save her tomboy sister from the firing squad by beseeching help from a right-wing gun-smuggler, and changes the entire course of the war by inadvertently starting her own revolution. An action-romance in the tradition of The African Queen or Romancing The Stone , Cassandra is the dread-lock & Birkenstock equivalent to Lara Croft. A female Don Quixote living life as it should be. A story about using your voice for what you believe in, not screaming about what you're against!
