“Cindy Eastman’s Flip-Flops After 50 is as funny, warm, and
inviting as its title. Filled with the kind of everyday humor that
made Erma Bombeck everybody’s favorite columnist, Eastman’s wit and
generosity reach out to embrace the reader. With every laugh,
there’s a moment of recognition and a sense of camaraderie.”
—Dr. Gina Barreca, professor of English and feminist theory and
author of It’s Not That I’m Bitter, or How I Stopped Worrying About
Visible Panty Lines and Conquered the World
“Cindy Eastman’s honest, straight-talking wisdom evokes Margaret
Young, who said, ‘You must first be who you really are, then do
what you need to do, in order to have what you want.’ Heartwarming,
humorous, and often inspirational, these essays will touch the
spirit of every woman fortunate enough to turn fifty.”
—Jan Coffey, award-winning, best-selling author of Silent
Waters
“With great insight, and a healthy dose of self-deprecating wit,
Cindy Eastman’s prose sparkles. Reading her essays is like sharing
coffee (or perhaps a Skinny Vanilla Latte) and great conversation
with a friend, one who doesn’t pretend to have all the answers but
rather finds joy in exploring life’s quirks and questions. Whether
discussing fitness or parenting, love or loss, her words— equally
rich in skill and sincerity—are moving and true. Flip-Flops After
50 delights.”
—Steven Parlato, author of The Namesake
