“Enough is the story of one woman’s journey to find her place in the world, despite a nagging sense of abandonment, racial insecurity, a history of trauma, and the unfortunate stigma associated with mental illness. Zachry captures it all with grace and illuminates the art of healing.”
—Rica Keenum, author of Petals of Rain and Nobody’s Daughter

—Anastasia Zadeik, author of Blurred Fates

“This book is a must-read for anyone hoping to better understand the experience of PTSD and bipolar disorder. Zachry shares a beautiful and painfully honest portrayal of her path to healing in the face of trauma. She reminds us that recovery is guided by love, hope, and the commitment to putting one foot in front of the other every day to move toward a valued life.”
—Dr. Christal L. Badour, Director, Stress, Trauma, and Recovery Research Collaborative, University of Kentucky

“There is little BILPOC representation when it comes to memoirs about trauma and mental illness. In Enough, Zachry takes on these hard subjects with writing that is beautiful, powerful, and compelling. She takes readers with her on a journey that is both heart-rending and heart-mending. You won’t soon forget this brave, important book.”
—Claudia Love Mair, author and coordinator of the Kentucky Black Writers Collaborative

“Enough is a memoir reflective of the arduous, often non-linear journey of growth through mental illness and the after-effects of trauma. Zachry’s honest, genuine, and direct descriptors of her symptoms and experiences will help countless others who are facing their own struggles navigating mental illness.”
—Dr. Kari Jones, licensed psychologist

“Amelia Zachry’s fierce, unflinching prose captures the devastation of a life interrupted and a spirit shattered. But her journey also reminds us that healing is possible. Candid and deeply moving, Enough is an unforgettable memoir.”
