Searching for Normal

Shay's been raised by her talented and loving stepfather since her mom died when she was a baby. But six months ago, Shay's stepfather was killed by a drunk driver. Since then, Shay's been kicked out of school and even out of her grandparents' home. An aunt is the only one willing to take her in--but it seems clear that Aunt Julie would rather not deal with a niece who keeps getting in trouble, even if that niece is only doing her best to stand up to the bullies in her new school.

One day, Shay learns the truth about her biological father, and her new friends from drama class encourage her to meet him. Maybe she'll finally find the normal life she's longed for--a life where she feels loved and wanted--you know, part of a real family.

This is the second book in a series that travels alongside four friends as they deal with teen life in Riverbend, Indiana. The novel inspires girls and young women to deepen their relationships with God and solve their problems in God-honoring ways.
