A BRIEF BIO:

“Home is the place where, when you have to go there, They have to take you in.” – Robert Frost

Cindy La Ferle is a nationally published essayist and newspaper columnist. Through her writing, she hopes to help elevate (and celebrate) the status of motherhood in our culture while serving as a voice for parents who choose to work from home while raising kids.

Offering a fresh perspective on family life, Writing Home represents twelve years of Cindy La Ferle’s award-winning columns and essays. Both a “momoir” and a handbook for living, the collection is for everyone who has ever attempted to combine work, parenthood, and homemaking. It is about reinventing family traditions, losing a parent, growing up, aging gracefully, and rediscovering the sacred in the suburban. La Ferle’s essays have been published in The Christian Science Monitor, Better Homes & Gardens, Writer’s Digest, Reader’s Digest, The Detroit Free Press, Mary Engelbreit’s Home Companion, Metro Parent, Literary Mama and others.

“With an engaging approach to family life and current events, Cindy La Ferle shows us that ‘home’ can be a wonderful place. We melt into the pages of Writing Home and give ourselves permission to read ‘just one more’ story. La Ferle makes us look at the browned bananas on our kitchen counter as an opportunity and not as a failure.”
