Desperately Seeking Normal

By Tanya Bullock

Life as the single mum of a child with learning difficulties is tough... but it gets so much harder when puberty hits.

To single mum Izzie's alarm...

...all her daughter Jaya, 18, wants from life is to get married and have babies.

This creates a moral dilemma for Izzie:

How she can continue to protect her daughter whilst at the same time letting her go?

In the small Midlands town where they live, there is little prospect of meaningful employment or continuing education for Jaya. So, Izzie wonders, would finding a 'suitable husband' via an arranged marriage for half-Indian Jaya be so crazy?

But when Jaya falls head over heels for a teaching assistant in her college's Special Educational Needs department, a disastrous sequence of events are set in motion.

Life for Jaya and Izzie is turned around in ways that nobody could ever have foreseen.
