Ordinary Heroes John H Howard

Jacqueline Nelson is a single mother, barely scraping by as a waitress at a superhero-themed restaurant named Sidekicks Grill. She lives in a world where epic battles between superheros and supervillians dominate the news. A cancer survivor, Jackie has undertaken an experimental treatment, with one side effect - the ability to read people's auras. But she prefers to keep this to herself; she's no superhero, after all. And, as if she didn't have enough to worry about, Jackie is also trying to decide whether her admirer Michael is one of the good guys or one of the bad guys. When she and her son Lucas are caught in the nightmare of an apparent supervillain attack, Jackie must make a choice that will define who she is, to herself, her son, and the world. After all, not every hero wears a cape.
