Normal by April

by Nancy Nicholson

Annie Famous is all grown up, and still not normal. Far from it! Having survived a chaotic childhood filled with constant change (and countless moves across the country), and fresh off the divorce of her headstrong parents Bill and Louise, Annie is on a quest for happiness and briefly finds it in the form a very nice boy named Fred. But Annie is restless and ends up falling for her much-older boss, who seduces her in the darkroom of the college advertising department. And then there is Shawn, the twice-divorced father of two who has more quirks than Annie and turns her life upside down. The relationship is rocky from day one, but Shawn’s young daughter, Emily, crawls into Annie’s heart and soul and Annie won’t let her go. The journey is never normal, but it takes a life-threatening event with yet another bad boy before Annie realizes she needs to make some major changes if she wants to see Emily grow up.
