The Friends of the Weimar Public Library brings you “The Book of Norman: a life in the shadow of greatness” by April McCurry. McCurry will be at the Weimar Public Library on Friday, Feb. 13 at 10 a.m.
This book is McCurry’s experiences with horse racing and the raising of thoroughbreds. Told from the perspec- tive of the not-so-elite, McCur ry’s story is a poignant look at the other side of racing and raising thoroughbreds.
"I am devouring every word, every exciting mom - net! Every moment when your heart stands still …,” said Arlene A.
McCurry lives on a farm outside Sealy and will discuss her book and the hidden real- ities she discovered about the world of horse racing. Mc-Curry will follow up her morning presentation with a book review at Nesbitt Library in Columbus at 2 p.m.
"I have so enjoyed it and am a little in love with Norm.
I said, ‘Aw, Norm,’, so many times …,” said Victoria K.
McCurry has raised and raced many thoroughbreds, including her first and finest, Norman. Her love for horses and the racing world inspired her book, “The Book of Norman: a life in the shadow of greatness.” You can learn more about Norman on his Facebook page, “Normandy Shore”.
“I was on the edge of my seat and in tear!!!,” said Carol C.
