Life for Amy was normal once…
A year ago, Amy Campbell had the best life – a beautiful wife, a good career and great friends. Now, she’s a broken thirty-five-year-old widow who copes with her grief through sex and alcohol.
With the encouragement of friends and family, Amy reluctantly attends group therapy in the hopes of mending her shattered soul. But as she strives to become a normal functioning adult again, work pressures, challenges of a new relationship and strains on close friendships she once thought unbreakable throw her recovery off course and create new heartache.
The more Amy tries to redefine herself, the more she’s forced to find the strength to confront her reality.
Normal Functioning Adult is a heartfelt story about redefining personal identity following tragedy.
