A Return to West Texas: Reckoning with Memory and Truth with Author Deonna Kay

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Deonna Kay, author of the book The Measure of Enough. Deonna Kay is a native Texan. She is the proud mom of a young adult daughter, an over-sized dog, and the fuzziest cat you’ve ever seen. Her passion for writing began as a child and has carried over into her adult life. She tutors youth in writing and works as a contract reader and editor, providing feedback to other budding writers. She is also a business owner in the world of finance and loves to travel, particularly to Walt Disney World. THE MEASURE OF ENOUGH is her debut, and she's excited to share it with the world.

In my book review, I stated The Measure of Enough is part women's fiction and part psychological thriller. This makes The Measure of Enough a perfect read for those who love strong character development but like twists and turns.

We meet Kacee who runs her own non-profit to help abused women after leaving her hometown full of broken promises, unfulfilled dreams, and an image she can't shake. Although confident at work, she is an emotional wreck on the inside. We soon learn she must use pills and alcohol to make it through her days and her nightmare filled nights.

What's the worst thing that can happen to Kacee? She is called home where she will have to face her mother and her best friend - two people she hasn't spoken to in years. And then there's the matter of her estranged father as well. Add to this the gray truck the seems to follow her everywhere, a home invasion, and cryptic messages telling her to back off.

What does it all mean? And will getting to the bottom of it help Kacee move forward in life - or embroil her further in emotions she doesn't want to face?

This is a great story that deals with mental health issues, abuse (both sexual and physical), addiction, and eating disorders. It is a definite must-read.
