Just a Normal Tuesday is the heartbreaking story of the aftermath of the suicide of sixteen year old Kai’s older sister. Reeling with grief, Kai is now the only child in her family. She cannot make sense of her sister’s decision to end her life, and Kai loses control. She skips class, lashes out at those closest to her. She even takes the same pills that caused her sister’s death. As she bottoms out, her parents search for help, and find a grief camp for teens. Kai doesn’t want to attend this summer camp, but once she gets there, she finds comfort in meeting other teens who have suffered similar losses.

This “slice of life” story was written by Kim Turrisi, who reveals in the acknowledgements that she lost her own sister to suicide. Turris is known for writing the ABC Family’s webisode series Pretty Dirty Secrets, the online companion piece to the Pretty Little Liars.
