Publisher's summary

Norma Jean's Sun is about the life of Norma and her family history of struggle to become the parent of a child with needs beyond any comprehension, only to find in the end an ending that will touch your core! Born into a life of isolation and pain with the graphic burden of surgical manipulation to function, walk, and survive in a world of normalcy. The iconic image inspires still today and will present a platform for an audience into a never-before-filmed life inside a family struggling to accept reason!

The story is not only convincingly true, but will rivet the listener with its genuine and unassuming pathos. A confinement that would later serve to encapsulate, isolate, and establish a prototype of life not understood or sought by those watching. Blessing, punishment, or choice is a position each is given, and though not all will genesis into a full heart, most can adapt through perseverance. Yet, in this episode, you will question on how or who provided the seed to a life of strife.

Norma Jean’s Sun

Norma Jean’s Sun is a true story written by Kris Courtney. He takes you back to the early days of his Mother Norma, and her conceiving a child that was crippled at birth. Norma fought for her boy and taught him to fight and overcome is disability. The story has a lot of emotion from sadness, to happiness, to disappointment to anger. Most of all it left you wanting to hear more, more about the life of this man called Kris and how far his success would take him. I am ready for a second book please.
