Welcome to the world of the novel-in-blogress, BEYOND YOU & ME, by W. S. Cross. A journey of personal discovery about Cassie DiMarco, a 24 year-old Yale grad student's wife from Philadelphia. Based on a real journal recounting her adventures during the Sexual Revolution. To Yale, she's "nothing more than a secretary," yet this modern Cinderella awakens from her slumber to find happiness, thanks to the Women's Movement and her own remarkbable abilities.
