Kennedy Ellis puts up a good front, but she's definitely not okay. Years after suffering sexual assault, Kennedy's trauma still manifests itself in relentless nightmares and dizzying anguish. She deals with it all by furiously burying her secrets and shame and avoiding intimacy of any kind.
Rhys Curran moved to Texas to refocus on his career and start a new life not soured by his past. Soon after he meets Kennedy, his open mind and big heart unravel her ability to distance herself. As their friendship evolves, Kennedy's secrets begin to surface and she's forced to face each one. Will she ever be able to overcome her past—and will Rhys stick around if he finds out the truth beyond her story?

Praise for The Meaning of Okay
“Experience falling in love slowly, completely, and sweetly.”
“Cortney Raymond takes romance to a new level as she explores the broken dreams of a woman with PTSD. The book is more meaningful than a simple romance story with butterfly kisses and meet-cutes. Raymond explores the life of someone deeply abused and suffering and the lifelines and encouragement she needs to fight to win herself back. The author builds multi-layered characters and vividly describes scenes to immerse readers in the story. Readers will be invested in Kennedy’s story, possibly identifying with her or Rhys. Although the book has no fairytale ending, it concludes beautifully with love and hope. Readers should digest The Meaning of Okay slowly and think about victims’ struggles as they approach what most people take for granted.”
