What Does Normal Feel Like?
Naomi Carter has spent the last fifteen years surviving loss. Three failed marriages. The death of both parents. The unsolved murder of her youngest son, Jay, just weeks before his twenty-fourth birthday.
From the outside, she appears strong, resilient, and determined. But beneath the surface, Naomi is quietly losing her grip on reality.
As Bipolar II Disorder, dissociation, and schizoaffective symptoms blur the line between memory and truth, Naomi finds herself trapped between the life she is living and the life her mind refuses to let go of. She celebrates birthdays that never happened, holds conversations with loved ones long gone, and searches desperately for answers that may not exist.
While her family watches helplessly from the sidelines, Naomi struggles to answer one impossible question: What does normal feel like?
A heartbreaking and powerful story of love, grief, mental illness, family, and the fragile nature of reality, What Does Normal Feel Like? is an unforgettable journey into the human mind and the enduring strength of the human heart.
