For those who had to be strong for everyone around them

My name is Cassie, but you may know me as C. Podach. I am writing my debut novel Forge in Embers. This story is close to my heart. I have always had a passion for telling story's, and before you ask, yes, even the heart breaking ones. If you have been told you have to be the strong one, the one who isn't allowed to break even when you're fraying like a rope that has been pulled too tight then I think I am your author.
