His third book, Growing UP in Indiana has been the most successful so far.  It presents a vivid picture of the racial strife America endured in the 20th century.  Here Norman writes about the trials and tribulations he encountered as a young boy trying to become an accomplished player at Marion High School.  Marion has won seven state basketball championships.  Growing UP in Indiana is the compelling story about a player trying to earn a college basketball scholarship.
