Searching for Normal (Riverbend Friends Book #2)

Shay has 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. The only relative willing to take her in is Aunt Julie, though it’s clear she’s reluctant to deal with a troubled niece who stands up to bullies at her new school.

One day, Shay discovers the truth about her biological father, and her new friends from drama class encourage her to meet him. Maybe this could be the start of the normal, loving family life she’s always wanted—a life where she feels loved and accepted.

This is the second book in a series following four friends navigating teen life in Riverbend, Indiana. The novel inspires girls and young women to deepen their relationships with God and face their challenges in ways that honor Him.
