Suddenly, Cassandra's body stiffened. Her fists clenched. Her eyes were opened wide, unblinking. After a few seconds, her body relaxed and her fists unclenched."Daddy!" she screamed, panic in her voice. Running out of the den, she headed for the back door, out into the yard, and over to where Nikos was standing."Daddy!" she said, breathless."What's the matter?""Don't go!""What are you talking about?""The train!""What about the train?" Nikos asked, staring at Cassandra."It's going to crash.""How do you know?""I saw it."--- From the time that she was a young girl, Cassandra could tell that she was different. It wasn't until she became a teenager that she found out just how different. --- A tale of precognition, destiny, and young love.
Cassandra's story is like no other I have read. Only at the end did I see that there were hints dropped throughout Cassandra's life story about her unusual family history. This is an exciting story of a little girl who could live just down the block, in any neighborhood. Cassandra's life seems no different from ours. The ocean is nearby; the university is close in New York City; the neighborhood children's birthday parties are similar. I read straight to the end. I won't give away the secret.
