“Gramps” Back Cover Copy

With bookstore shelves loaded with so many sensational, trashy, and scandalous stories of wild celebrities, politicians, criminals, and other fringe lunatics, Gramps rises above the fray as a heartwarming, real story - about real people.

Gramps spans the lifetime of Norman Stafford, a true-to-life transplanted New England boy who made his life on his own terms. From humble beginnings in Idaho Springs Colorado, Norman was taught the importance of ingenuity, perseverance, and hard work - qualities he carried with him the rest of his life.

Norman’s story spans more than 60 years beginning with his early memories as the son of a traveling newspaper publisher. It reveals his momentous role as a young Navy officer during World War II, his courtship and marriage to Alice Horner, the love of his life, and the family they went on to raise.

Written in a conversational and engaging and style, Norman relates the details of an adventurous and fulfilling trip down life’s highway. The story is filled with personal anecdotes, clever observations about how things really are in the world – and loads of
good old fashioned Mark Twain style wisdom.

If you’re looking for scandal, betrayal, and perverse tales from beyond the realm of reality, then this isn’t the book for you. However, if you’d like to get a taste of what it was like for this simple American kid from Idaho Springs to come into his own at a time when there were absolutely no guarantees, then this story is certain to put a smile on your face.
