Description

<h2>Taliesin Weaver thought that he had saved himself and his friends when he defeated the witch Ceridwen. He was wrong.</h2><h3><i>He always thought of evil as embodied in external threats that he could overcome in combat. Soon he will discover that the worst evil has been inside of him all along....</i></h3><p>Tal’s girlfriend is in a coma for which he holds himself responsible. A close friend, suffering from a past-life memory trauma similar to Tal's, is getting worse, not better. Morgan Le Fay is still lurking around and has an agenda Tal can’t figure out. Supernatural interruptions in his life are becoming more frequent, not less so, despite his expectations. In fact, Tal learns that something about his unique nature amplifies otherworldly forces in ways he never imagined were possible, ways that place at risk everyone close to him.</p><p>Tal and his allies must face everything from dead armies to dragons. As soon as they overcome one menace, another one is waiting for them. More people are depending on Tal than ever; he carries burdens few adults could face, let alone a sixteen-year-old like himself. Yet somehow Tal at first manages to handle everything the universe throws at him.</p><p>What Tal can’t handle is the discovery that a best friend, almost a brother, betrayed him, damaging Tal’s life beyond repair. For the first time, Tal feels a darkness within him, a darkness which he can only barely control...assuming he wants to. He’s no longer sure. Maybe there is something to be said for revenge, and even more to be said for taking what he wants. After all, he has the power...</p><p> </p><h2><u>Can Tal stop himself before he destroys everyone he has sworn he will protect? Scroll up to buy a copy and find out!</u></h2>

In Some Kind of Normal, author Heidi Willis explores the strength of the human spirit and a family in crisis. As the Babcock family faces a life-threatening illness, they must also deal with the opposing positions of medical science and their church. Heidi's book brings these issues together in a clear, compelling tale that held my interest from the first page until the end. <p>Among other things, this story explores the diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes, in itself a life-changing event. Then the family faces devastating setbacks. With the illness as a central theme, Heidi writes about a family coming to grips with issues that touch every aspect of their lives. This book is a great read, an inspirational story, and an excellent way to gain insight into how we can balance our religious beliefs with medical science. Heidi challenges us to ask: Are we healed by God, or by medical science created by God? Some Kind of Normal allows each reader to explore this question without prejudice or bias. </p><p>Congratulations to the author on a wonderful story. --Randall L. Strozyk, Chief Executive Officer, American Medical Response </p>
