The author speaks to these issues as she lived through them: raising children, teaching, and attempting to be a model wife. Her story resonates with readers who see her move into self-sufficiency. This book is a welcome testament of a difficult struggle.
— Mary Popham, Back Home in Landing Run
Deanna O’Daniel’s writing instantly draws in the reader. I loved Kiss Your Elbow- A Kentucky Memoir, Deanna’s memoir about growing up in a family of 13. I’m delighted that she has continued sharing stories of her life as a member of the Silent Generation. Like her first book, Deanna’s two new books contain humor and descriptions that bring the reader right into each scene and adventure. Life as a 1960s/70s housewife is the focus of Changing the Sheets - A Kentucky Memoir. The next book, Opening a New Window - A Kentucky Memoir is about her life as a naïve divorcee.

Deanna O’Daniel’s new book is the embodiment of Americana. She has an amazing ability to capture the time, place and feel of life in 1960’s, 70’s Louisville Kentucky. Her wit and humor abound as she relates her life experience as a free-willed, strong minded woman in an era when those qualities often went unappreciated. Her stories flow with ease as she allows us to share the journeys of a life well lived.
— Jerry Deaton, Author, filmmaker, playwright
“Deanna captures those moments of self-realization, and nostalgic and not-so-nostalgic place, with a knowing literary net. Again, she pulls away time’s curtain for those of us who inhabited that era. For her younger readers, she reflects with wonderful scenes that reveal what life was like for women. This was in a not-so-distant era—a time when many a woman was reminded as to where her ‘place’ was to be; whether in the world or in the bedroom.”
