Since Carli Lancaster’s divorce, she’s worked hard to keep life as normal as possible for her daughters. When she lands a job as cohost of a local morning show, it looks like a fresh start. So does the arrival of a handsome new neighbor, who has more in common with Carli than just a property line.
Ben Chase is also new to single parenthood. And like Carli, he’s focused on the future.
From navigating neighborhood gossip to decorating for holidays to reaching out in times of trouble, they quickly learn to rely on each other. Just like a couple but without the complications of coupling! Sure, there’s attraction. They’re only human. But they’re also friends, and who wants to ruin a perfect relationship with romance?
They’re both thinking about adding some perks, though, and even if their new normal isn’t perfect, it’s definitely somewhere in the neighborhood.

The New Normal by Tracy Brogan
The New Normal by Tracy Brogan is the journey a couple of divorced, single parents take in defining their new life, post-divorce. This wonderful, heart-warming story contains Tracy’s trademark humor and realistic glimpse at the life her characters weave. Her characters will need to navigate the risks and obstacles a second-chance at romance will place in the path of her characters as they attempt to make sense out of their lives and reach out for a new normal direction for their lives.
Carli Lancaster has struggled to keep life as normal as possible for her teen daughters since her divorce. With her daughters no longer dependent on her it’s time for her to start living life for herself. Landing the job as one of the co-hosts of a local morning show is a definite start; so is the arrival of a handsome new next-door neighbor.
Ben Chase is also new to single parenthood and like Carli, he’s focused on his future. Carli and Ben get to know each other as they decorate for the holidays, help each other in times of trouble or need, and adapt to the demands of the neighborhood. Being human, there is an attraction, or magnetism, between Ben and Carli; but these two friends fear risking their perfect relationship with romance. Maybe just adding some perks can help them as they navigate a new normal. Their new normal might not be perfect, but it works for them.
Ms. Brogan wrote a wonderful, heartwarming, amazing story, filled with sizzling chemistry, life challenges, humorous dialogue, and realistic characters that is definitely not to be missed. I totally enjoyed and highly recommend The New Normal to other readers.
