She is a sought-after interior designer and runs her own property management company that keeps her busy night and day.

She loves to travel to other countries, especially to little-known areas where she can enmesh herself in the lives of the fascinating new friends she meets. A graduate of Arizona State University, her major in Communication has served her well in her engagement with the world. Her experience raising a brain-injured son with epilepsy led her to write this book. Cindy invites you to look beyond the surface to see the bigger picture and the deeper meanings that adversity can teach us all. Her goal in telling her story is to increase compassion for those who struggle daily with serious health issues of all kinds.
