I had the good fortune of interviewing Ginny Scales-Medeiros and reading her book, What Is Normal. I found both delightful, intriguing and imaginative.
We meet Sue, the main character in the story, as she takes us on a journey from her back-woods, dirt poor, surroundings (yes the trailer she lived in then is now a chicken coop) to her experiences such as sexual and mental abuse, dropping out of school and poor relationship choices.
As I read the book, I wondered how any one person could possibly overcome such neglect? I laughed with her, I cried with her, but mainly, I found Sue a true inspiration, relying on her intelligence to overcome all obstacles.
This is a true 5 star read and one that every person will find a page-turner!
