Is She Okay‪?‬

Paula, Stephanie, and Melissa are three good friends. They met when they moved into the same neighborhood. That was several years ago, and now they all have young children. They see each other frequently, they go out together as often as they can, and they consider themselves close. They can’t imagine a strain on their friendship until a new family moves into the neighborhood.
The new family has children the same age as theirs, and the three friends want to get to know the mom. At first, Kay seems nice enough, although she’s on the young side, and clearly not from the same background. Her two daughters are friendly, and get along well with all the other children. Paula, Stephanie, and Melissa try to include Kay in multiple ways, although some of them are less enamored of her than others. But as time goes on, Kay begins to act oddly, and no matter what they do, her behavior becomes even more bizarre.
It becomes clear to the three women that Kay has mental health issues. But their reactions to this realization are very different. Do they ignore it? Ask her to get help? Talk to her family and help them cope with Kay’s challenges? Is a mental health issue the same as a physical health issue? How are they going to handle this situation, and can they handle it together? Or is Kay going to be the problem that breaks up their friendship? And, will Kay be okay? This book will change how you think about mental health, gender roles, and ultimately, friendship in general.
