A New Kind of Normal

Listening to Carol Kent's voice is like holding a hand through a storm. Jill Blackwood’s narration is warm and comforting, making the painful recollections feel almost bearable. Her ability to convey the complexities of grief without overacting is commendable. The story itself is a mix of despair and determination, with specific moments that stick—like when Carol starts her ministry, providing a beacon of light in the darkest times. However, some chapters felt slightly disjointed, perhaps due to the rapid shift between personal pain and community support. Overall, 'A New Kind of Normal' is a deeply moving audiobook that challenges and inspires listeners to find new normals even in the most difficult circumstances.
