Sincerely Yours, Norma Jean

Sincerely Yours, Norma Jean is Norma’s first book. Her first few grandchildren had asked her to complete books about “My Grandma”. Norma enjoyed sharing her childhood memories with them, that is, until she ended up with 18 grandchildren. That is when she embarked on a loving journey without really knowing what a huge project this book would become. She decided to make one book to share with all her grandchildren and now great grandchildren. This turned out to be a 4 year project with several health setbacks. Norma takes us through her young years before she was married and had children. She sometimes says that no one is around anymore to tell us if she is “fibbing or stretching the truth”. To the best of her recollections, this book is factual. Norma takes us through her younger years with humor, truth and grace. This book is the story of a beautiful and adventurous young girl coming of age in the Iowa prairie beginning with the Depression Era through World War II.
