An Enchantment of a Fearful Sort Kathleen Booky

In Cassandra's favorite fairy tales, there are heroes and villains, tragedies and wondrous magic, but in her own drab life, she is marginalized and ignored by everybody, even her family. She longs to be the Cass she knows hides inside of her - strong and brave, worthy of true love. She gets her chance to prove herself when she finds a magic mirror and the line between reality and her fantasy world blurs. Cass finds herself facing a decision - whether to be as strong as she knows she really can be - and save herself and the woman she loves or to continue being what she has come to dread - a shadow of the true person she hides inside. To find herself - and free her lover, Cass has to travel back through a magic mirror, to the 1920s where she meets Radclyffe-Hall and Ma Bentley in the speakeasies and shadowy bars of the time - the only safe places for women who loved women to be themselves in a world where being a lesbian is illegal. Facing down an evil witch and her own internal demons, Cass must determine if she is going to become the Cass she was always meant to be or is her lover doomed to be imprisoned in an enchantment of a fearful sort...
