About the Author
After my children were grown, I found myself restless, searching for ways to busy my idle hands and mind. I discovered my love of writing, and I was drawn to the mystique of Indian lore. What I learned about the Native American people inspired me to bring their stories to life through the wonderful genre of historical romance.

edition.
Having lived in St. Louis for thirty years, my husband and I returned to Mattoon, Illinois, when he retired from teaching. My dream house is peaceful and quiet, where an occasional curious red fox ventures onto my sundeck and peeks into my office, and where I can watch swallows building their nest and raising their babies right outside my kitchen window. It is the perfect place to create my novels.
I feel blessed to have found a “second life,” the first having been spent raising two happy and healthy sons. Writing my Indian romances is my small tribute to those beautiful first people of our land who have suffered so much injustice. And I have just begun. My upcoming books will continue with more passion and adventure and rich historical settings. Enjoy!

This re-issue is showing its age.,
This review is from: Forbidden Embrace (Mass Market Paperback)
Serena Calvert is the daughter of a Union doctor during the Civil War. During the war, he transformed two floors of the house into a hospital and has recently accepted Confederate wounded who are shackled to their beds. Serena blames her father for her mother's death and harbors secret Southern sympathies. Then, she meets Wesley Wyndham, one of the Confederate wounded, and her secret sympathies flame into rebellion. When he is transferred from the hospital to prison, Serena acts on her feelings and frees him. Together they flee from Illinois to Folly Island, outside of Charleston, South Carolina. This novel has a panoramic scope and some interesting Civil War facts. It also shows its age (originally published in 1982). The use of rape as a plot device made this reviewer especially uncomfortable, and most of the characters are often shown in a less than positive light.

This review is from: Forbidden Embrace (Mass Market Paperback)
I am a huge fan of Cassie Edwards, but I must say this book was just awful! Serena is raped by a family friend, a man her father wants to marry her off to, and blames herself. The morning after her rape she sees Wesley, a wounded Confederate soldier, in her fathers makeshift hospital, and falls for him. Two nights later she is making love with him. I can't swallow being raped one night then falling into the arms of a stranger 2 days later. The book starts off bad and shows no improvement for the end. It's a shame Cassie Edwards felt the need to downplay the seriousness of this issue, the amount of trauma this woman suffers at the hand of Wesley would make any Woman's Crisis center scream. Serena is a victim in every sense and that she forgives Wesley every time is unbelievable, even for being set in an era of the Civil War. I'm so glad Ms. Edwards has improved her writing with time. If this had been my first experience of reading one of her novels, it would have been my last. Save your money fans!
