"A Wonderful Book" Bestseller Book Review

'Riveting Memoir

Having attend school with the author, I never noticed his limitations or insecurities. I remember a young man with an engaging grin and a friendly hello as we passed in the hallways. As he says "we are more alike than we are different." As a man, the author has become a successful artist, creating beautiful works of art through his paintbrush. The memoir was riveting and I finished the book in one sitting. I recommend this book to anyone who has obstacles to overcome or fears to face.

Available for 72 Hours, Norma Jean's Sun, Memoir by Kris Courtney is on Kindle and ready for download & Fall review September 15th thru 17th - FREE !!!

The story is not only convincingly true, but will rivet the reader with its genuine and unassuming pathos. Norma Jean's Sun is painfully reflective yet ultimately hopeful, a story told through the eyes of a boy who believes he has been mistakenly born into the world and a man who conquers physical and emotional injustice--and thrives. The reader will be challenged to answer the questions of right and wrong as they may apply to his or her own life. It is clear that it is the hope of this author that the reader's conclusions will lead to a more fulfilled view of the "parallel beauty that lives just beneath the surface for us all."

What If I Have No Idea How Kickstarter Works?

If you're not familiar with Kickstarter or how it will work, here's a brief overview.

For the next 30 days, you'll be able to make pledges to help support this project, ranging from $5 to whatever you can afford. For your pledge, you can select one of the reward packages—listed to the right—of equal or lesser value to your pledge. You can always pledge more than the minimum to get a specific reward if you want. Your credit card, Paypal or other account will not actually be charged at the time you make your pledge, and you can change your mind right up to the final deadline.

(NO RISK of Loss or Identity) You can remain Anonymous

If the final deadline comes and we've reached our goal, then everyone gets charged the amount they pledged. But if for some reason we don't meet our goal, then the whole thing is called off. No one gets charged, no fees are applied, everyone just keeps their money. So there's no risk of putting up money and then the project never getting off the ground. Of course, if we fail to meet the goal, then no one gets any rewards, either.

Thank you, Kris

"AMAZING MEMOIR" G. Sterling Zinsmeyer

So if you felt a little ripped off by Jim Frey’s book A Million Little Pieces I strongly urge you to pick up or download Norma Jean's Sun, Memoir

Courtney weaves family secrets, with physical & emotional challenges in a life’s journey that will leave you breathless. Faced with unspeakable physical challenges Kris Courtney moves through his life experiences sometimes bravely sometimes embracing despair but always perceiving his life challenges with insights that will touch your core!

I was humbled by reading this book in a way that totally surprised me. All of us have our challenges in life but I was in awe not only by his conquest but also the depths to which he sunk and survived.

Mr. Courtney not only has a sense of humor about his exploits and situation but also  somehow keeps his sense of proportion in recalling his past. 

This is not just another memoir of recovery, it’s a tale of courage, family failings and devotion and most of all self discovery. One man’s detached observation of his family, himself, and life ‘s twists, turns and fate!

It will leave you with much more of a willingness to accept

life’s  erratic patterns with a zest for self discovery and adventure!

Read This Book!
