Written for caregivers of parents and spouses, True Confessions of an Ambivalent Caregiver (She Writes Press) is a funny but brutally honest collection of essays from award-winning author Cindy Eastman who challenges the romanticized notion of caregiving, portraying it as an elegant conflict that reshapes family dynamics.

Eastman is an award-winning author whose first book, a collection of essays entitled Flip-Flops After 50: And Other Thoughts on Aging I Remembered To Write Down, was published by She Writes Press. She also has contributed pieces to several anthologies. 

She holds a master’s degree in education and currently teaches English at her local community college. As an educator, she has taught writing to students between the ages of 5 and 85 and presented nationally at the Story Circle Network 8^th Women's Writing Conference in Austin, Texas. 

True Confessions of an Ambivalent Caregiver will be published in September 2024 but is available for pre-orders. Read more of Eastman’s essays at cindyeastman.com.
