I Capture the Castle
Overview -
Read Full Product Description"I write this sitting at the kitchen sink" is the first line of a novel about love, sibling rivalry, and a bohemian existence in a crumbling castle in the middle of nowhere.

But if the iron has entered Father's soul, it hasn't penetrated Cassandra's.
