Mental health is always an issue in today’s society.

M. Kelly, author of “Pathways in the Mind” series, returns to the literary scene with the release of “Edge of Madness: An Australian Story” (published by Balboa Press AU). In this psychological thriller, readers follow one woman’s coming-of-age journey and beyond as her mental health deteriorates and she struggles to know why.

Marj’s peaceful and contented life in the farm is turned upside down when she finds herself orphaned at age 8 and sent to live with her great aunt. After several failed relationships, her path leads her to a mental health clinic in Dubbo, where she learns a name for her condition and how to avoid the triggers that set it off. Through brain training in the clinic, she slowly learns to navigate through depression and borderline personality disorder, which eventually leads to her recovery into a normal life.

“It’s a good story with an inspirational ending,” the author asserts. “Mental health is always an issue in today’s society. Often, people with BPD seem to spend their lives in never really finding answers that will help them. The ending for Marj is a good one.”

“Edge of Madness: An Australian Story” is an entertaining and educational read that will appeal to those who are dealing with mental health issues or who know someone who might find inspiration and encouragement in Marj’s story.
