The New Normal: A New Adult Romance

"Silver Linings Playbook" meets "All the Bright Places" in this romance featuring libraries, football, geekdom, and journals.

Hunter Montgomery, recordbreaking linebacker and once-guaranteed valedictorian, has hit a dead end. Two years ago Hunter's dreams of getting a scholarship to play college bowl were destroyed with a career-ending concussion. Working at the Liberty Public Library in his small central Pennsylvania town, Hunter embraces a quiet life, secretly afraid to push his damaged mind too far.

Until Abigail Finkel comes along to destroy the monotony. After a year and a half battling mental illness, Abby is shipped off to live with the father she barely knows on his goat farm in Liberty. Despite the fierce barriers she has in place, Abby opens up to Hunter but is anxious that her disorder will overshadow any hope they have to live like any other young couple.

Told in Hunter and Abby's alternating voices, "The New Normal" explores love, disability, and goat farms.
