Extended description

“Saying that Cindy’s writes from the heart is almost doing her an injustice. It’s true, mind you, that’s exactly how she writes. But what comes from her heart isn’t all fluffy kittens and yarn, it’s Cindy’s feelings, rough-edged and a little raw. And underlain with a sly humour. Check out in common, a wander through the nostalgia invoked by old photos and the strain of trying to remember every name. Her nocturnal ramblings, written in the stupor of exhaustion from a string of sleepless nights, reveal a pensivety unencumbered by wakeful sensitivity. This is Cindy raw and, while never exactly vulnerable, open. Before The Mist is a truly personal emotional memoir but one that contains a universal truth: Our lives are formed by our experiences. These are Cindy’s and she’s kindly allowing us to share them. And by sharing her experiences, maybe our lives will be influenced a little bit too. Life, after all, is not made up of kittens and yarn. Cindy knows that well. ”
