Desperately Seeking Normal cover

Life as the single mum of a learning-disabled daughter in a small town in the West Midlands is tough. To Izzie's alarm, all her daughter, Jaya, 18, wants from life is to get married and have babies. How can Izzie continue to protect Jaya whilst at the same time letting her go? When Jaya mistakenly believes she has found love with a naive young teaching assistant, Izzie has to act. Maybe finding half-Indian Jaya a ‘suitable husband’ via an arranged marriage wouldn't be so crazy.
