George Norton was born and raised in the New York Metropolitan area. He served in the U.S. Air Force after high school during the Vietnam-era. Norton lives in Wichita, Kansas, and spends his spare time reading. Before he became an avid reader he was nearly dyslexic. Norton devotes himself to prison ministry and eradicating hunger. His favorite quote: "A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest" --Simon and Garfunkle. Having experience in Major Depressive Illness first-hand with inmates and other people who suffer from it, Norton decided to write his book to uplift those who are at their rock bottom in life. He says that, "Children don't demand perfection but they sure hate hypocrisy." On January 15, 2010, Norton became the recipient of a (Silver) Readers Favorite book award from Hawesville, Kentucky.
