ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Rooted in the forests of Northern Michigan and now writing from the mountains of Colorado, Cynthia J. Giachino has spent a lifetime nurturing young minds and embracing life’s quiet triumphs. With dual degrees in education and a foundation in psychology, she dedicated 34 years to guiding children—including those with special needs—through the challenges of learning and growth. These years shaped her belief in the power of perseverance, compassion, and second chances.

Cynthia’s stories reflect the same spirit: they are windows into resilience, healing, and the moments that remind us we’re never truly alone. Her writing invites readers into reflective journeys—ideal for book clubs craving rich discussion and emotional depth. Whether she’s capturing the nuances of human connection or the quiet strength found in adversity, her words inspire hope and stir empathy.

When she’s not writing, Cynthia finds joy in the simple treasures of life: baking for loved ones, exploring nature’s calm, cherishing her grandchildren, and sharing laughter with her beloved pup. Through both her life and literature, she reminds us that even the smallest moments can hold profound meaning.
