Beyond the Blue Door:: a writer's journey

"I have such respect for Kay McCracken's indomitable spirit and unquenchable creativity. In this, her second memoir, her eloquent and brave insights offer life-changing revelations about anxiety, depression, children of alcoholics, care-giving and reconciling with aging parents, hard-won self-awareness and how one good and tough soul hung on to her dream of writing until she became a prolific and beloved poet, performer, journalist and memoirist. As she says 'Life dishes up enough heartache; I'll grab joy while I can.’ This writer and this book are an inspiration and comfort." Caroline Woodward
