Related by Marriage: Delicious Domestic Daze, is a selection of humorous reflections on domestic life, originally published in The Philadelphia Bulletin. The book deals with everyday events in the life of a midlife-crazed woman and her sweet but slightly befuddled husband. Read how Cynthia had to remodel her husband Ted after their wedding; and about the list Cynthia maintains in case Ted outlives her: women who Ted is not allowed to date, even after a proper period of grieving! Her book leaves no doubt that women speak three times as many words as men do every day!

Similar to Cynthia’s professional speaking engagements, Related by Marriage exudes humor, warmth, and insight.

Ted’s Endorsement

“When Cynthia first raised the possibility of writing a column about a middle aged crazy woman married to a sweet but slightly befuddled geezer, and naming it “Related by Marriage,” I said: “Sure, but where would you get the material? It was only after a bemused look (okay, maybe a smirk) that I realized she meant us! I asked if I’d have editorial rights and was told that I’d be given the opportunity to review the columns and make suggestions, but I would not have veto power. So far–after three years of publication—that hasn’t been a problem.”

Other Endorsements

“I have been a fan of Cynthia’s writing ever since I read her “Philosophy of Life,” written when she was 12 years old and published in a local newspaper. I was delighted to meet her again in her grown up column, where she engages me with the same wry wit, matured and polished to such sheen that I see my life reflected in all its absurdities. Reading her column is like looking in a fun house mirror, where she transforms the commonplace events of our lives into comical caricatures that keep us from taking ourselves too seriously.” — Renee Hermanson, author of Raspberry Kingdom

“Cynthia’s humor and honesty in her weekly columns have filled the void left with the passing of Erma Bombeck. Her stories about life with wonderful husband Ted will make you smile and remind you of why marriage is still a good thing!”  —Sarah Michel, Professional Speaker and Author of Perfecting Connecting
