About the author
Meet Cindy Meister
Attorney turned stay-at-home mom turned author — and a lifelong student of the human heart.
Cindy Meister is a former attorney who traded the courtroom for the most demanding job she’s ever had: staying home to raise her two daughters.
She has spent her whole life in the Chicagoland area, where she raised her family and is now a proud grandmother. Her years in law gave her a sharp eye for what people say — and what they really mean. Motherhood gave her endless patience for listening.
With a passion for storytelling and a keen interest in the evolving role of technology in human relationships, Cindy brings a fresh and insightful perspective to her writing. The Idea of You is her debut book, exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and modern dating.
