From the cover of the book:
If you were offered the chance to be 'normal', would you take it?
Do we even know what 'normal' is?
The Willow family have been through a lot together. Louise has devoted her life to her family and
raising her disabled daughter, Patience. Pete now works abroad, determined to provide more, even
if it means seeing less of those he loves. And Eliza, in the shadow of her sister, has a 'perfect' life in
London, striving to live up to her mother's high standards.
Meanwhile, Patience lives her life quietly, watching and judging the world while she's trapped in
her own body. She laughs, she cries, she knows what she wants, but she can't ever communicate this
to those who make the decisions for her. Patience only wants a voice, but this is impossible.
When the opportunity to put Patience into a new gene therapy trial to cure her Rett syndrome
becomes available, opinions are divided, and the family is torn.
The stakes are high, and they face tough decisions in the hunt for a normal life.
But is normal worth it?
What do we even consider normal?
Is Patience about to find out...?
