Biography :
Kathy’s life-long passion for early American history can be traced back to the many family vacations up and down the east coast, where she boasts having been photographed by father the Civil War buff with her sisters perched on cannons at every major fort and battlefield from Canada to South Carolina. She has since written seven novels, was a finalist in RWA’s Golden Heart contest (with Winter Fire) and placed in and won a number of chapter contests with a variety of historical and time travel novels.
A Bronx native, she now lives in Central Connecticut with her teacher/director/playwright husband and two dogs. When not writing, Kathy dabbles in web design and graphics, cooking, tennis, gardening, classical and folk music.
Book Review :
Winter Fire is a rousing story of a man and a woman drawn to each other despite unusual circumstances.
Zara Grey was captured by the Seneca at an early age. All she knows is life as an Indian. Soldiers find her and return her to her uncle’s home, there to be ‘reintroduced’ to society. Rufus Grey has no tolerance for his niece, who doesn’t speak English and has strange, non-white, ways. Zara tries to escape more than once, but is brought back each time. Finally her cousin gives her the way out, but she is recaptured by her uncle. When he punishes her by beating her and then attempting rape her, she grabs a scythe and slashes at him, then flees into the woods.
Ethan Caine is out in the woods, tending his traps when he sees the woman on the ice. He tries to shout a warning, but startles her and she falls through the ice. When Ethan rescues Zara, he gets more than he bargained for, as she is indirectly responsible for the death of his father. He then realizes that she’s in need of help, which he sets out to do. From there, their lives are intertwined and the rest of the story unfolds.
Kathy Fischer-Brown has woven a well-crafted story of the hates and desires of the people in this time period. She has skillfully managed to convey the prejudice people had against a people they didn’t understand, and makes the reader feel as if they are within the story. From the beginning of the book, this reviewer was drawn in. It was a quick read, but one that was thoroughly captivating. It is a well thought out interpretation of the way people react to unusual circumstances. © Love Romances, 2001-2002.
