Sara and the search for normal / Wesley King.

King, Wesley. (Author).

Summary:

Sara wants to be normal, but what she has instead are multiple diagnoses. Her panic attacks and other episodes cause her to isolate herself. When she starts group therapy, she meets someone new, talkative and outgoing Erin. And Sara finds herself in unfamiliar territory: at the movies, at a birthday party, and with someone to tell about her crush--in short, with a friend.
