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>
