Dear Cindy, Love Mom Letters of Love, Loss and Life by Elaine Roberts Schaller
Elaine’s new book (and I do mean new!) has just received an amazing review on : Sports Illustrated and it’s climbing the charts incredibly fast. Elaine wrote this book to help others; a compilation of the diary she kept while struggling to cope with the untimely death of her beloved daughter, and I can attest to how powerful her words are.
Her family started the Cindy Lynn Sherwin Memorial Foundation to sponsor events that promote physical health and works closely with the Brain Aneurysm Foundation to increase funding and awareness. A growing number of marathoners and triathletes are now competing on behalf of Team Cindy , raising money in her name.
Elaine is donating 100 percent of the proceeds from the book to the Brain Aneurysm Foundation.

Dear Cindy, Love Mom Letters of Love, Loss and Life by Elaine Roberts Schaller
Early on Monday morning April 23, 2007, my daughter Cindy left her Lower East Side Manhattan apartment and began the day with a bike ride on Riverside Drive. She was training for her first Ironman Triathlon in Lake Placid, NY in July. This would be a busy day with training for the 100-mile cycle portion of the race, a packed schedule of personal training clients, and a run in Central Park.
But this was not to be a typical day. Midway through her ride, Cindy suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm and died at the young age of 33. No one could have predicted her sudden death. Cindy was a dietician, a trainer of trainers, a consultant to Fitness Magazine and the embodiment of good health.
Cindy’s death left me paralyzed with grief and certain that I would never experience another joyful moment in my life. After three weeks of unspeakable suffering, I sat before a grief counselor who suggested that I start a journal. I wrote to Cindy each day, trying to relieve my pain and to describe my dreams, my journey and my efforts to deal with, and ultimately accept, her untimely death. This book is the result, a compilation of some of those letters.
Quattro Famiglie The Story of an Italian-American Family by James Lawrence Gentilucci
A family history that spans more than one hundred years centering on the four descendents of Domenico and Vincenza (Cugini) Gentilucci. Over time, the four Gentilucci children intermarried with Cedrones, Cetrones (the Americanized version of Cedrone), Cuginis, and Quintilianis—all Sandonatesi (people from San Donato Val di Comino). While each of these families has a fascinating history, Quattro Famiglie focuses primarily on the Gentilucci family and its descendents.
You Did What? Saying ‘No’ To Conventional Cancer Treatment by Hollie & Patrick Quinn
This is a story about a young woman with a very common but deadly illness who did a very uncommon thing when faced with that disease. She disagreed with her doctors, rejected their treatment advice, and chose her own path to getting well again. She did this in the face of paralyzing fears of dying and leaving behind a motherless daughter. She did this in the face of the daunting task of researching and choosing a better treatment. She did this in the face of the intense pressures of social conformity telling her to listen to her doctors. What she did was extraordinarily brave and forward-thinking. In effect, she forged a better path through a thicket of fear, complexity, and pressure. She forged this path with the help of her husband, working as a team and exhibiting unyielding togetherness. This book chronicles the journey they took together, back to health.
