Hi!
I'm Cindy...

​​an award-winning writer and memoirist who speaks and writes about the messy, beautiful truth of parenting, the unexpected ways rescue animals heal us, and how ordinary families can discover extraordinary resilience. My memoir, Mom Loves the Dogs More, and my blog, Like People, Like Pets, elevate conversations about teen mental health, compassion, and second chances.  I invite you into the quiet, powerful work of reconnection—between people, pets, and the parts of ourselves we’re still yearning to know.

When family falls apart, love-and a few rescue dogs-hold it together.
