Waiting for Normal by Leslie Connor

"Normal...is when you know what's gonna happen next. Not exactly what, because probably nobody gets that. But normal is being able to count on certain things." --Addie

This book is a young adult book about Addie, a junior higher who lives with her mom in a trailer. Addie's half-sisters live with her step-dad (who is no longer married to Addie's mom). Addie's mom is gone for days at a time and Addie has to take care of herself.

This story is about resilience and family. It's sweet and heartfelt - I enjoyed it.
