Jane Isay began her career as a book editor,
specializing in psychology, first at the Yale University Press, and then for thirty years in New York
publishing houses. She has worked with psychologists from Anna Freud to Alice Miller and Mary
Pipher. In 2004 she began a new career as a writer of books about family: Walking on
Eggshells, Mom Still Likes You Best, Secrets and Lies, and now Unconditional Love.
Each book, based on dozens of interviews, attempts to understand the emotions that lie behind
the ordinary tensions of family life and to help readers find strategies to strengthen bonds. Her
books are filled with keen insight, practical advice and humor.
