Words that Shape Us w/ Mega Author Keala Kendal & Ochsner Children's Allergy Season: Unsolved!

Send us Fan MailYall, this week's guest is a storyteller whose words don’t just entertain — they heal, challenge, and stay with you long after the final page. Keala Kendall is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author behind Disney’s A Twisted Tales novels inspired by Moana and Lilo & Stitch — and now, her powerful new book, That Which Feeds Us, is turning heads across the literary world for its haunting exploration of paradise, culture, and survival. She and I had the best time exploring her creative processes and I'm grateful for her inviting me along for such a fun and immersive conversation. My Mississippi self can even pronounce Hawaii correctly now! AND- ahem,  I had NO idea she was behind Twisted Tales with Stitch! Ummm- that lil guy is HOH in this house! He could have even made an unofficial appearance in our conversation. 😅 Keala's brand new book, 'That Which Feeds Us'  was JUST released THIS MONTH and Published by Penguin Random House.  The book follows a Native Hawaiian teen named Lehua as she travels to a luxury Hawaiian resort searching for her missing twin sister… only to uncover terrifying secrets buried beneath paradise itself. Mixing Hawaiian folklore, supernatural horror, mystery, and the real-life impact of colonialism, the novel has been described as Mexican Gothic meets She Is a Haunting.
