'Julie Catt misspent her youth in Columbia, Missouri lining up tequila shots and winning wet T-shirt competitions. So maybe it wasn't such a stretch to think that twenty years on, mother to six kids from four different paternity arrangements, she'd be sobbing to a therapist about her irrepressible white-trash heritage.

'Normal is a left-of centre memoir in the mould of Running with Scissors: a funny, insightful, moving and relentlessly frank account of a messy and richly lived life.
