Jim Dougherty’s book is described as “the sensitive and touching story of the four-year marriage of Jim Dougherty and Norma Jeane Baker before her Hollywood transformation to Marilyn Monroe. This is a very unusual book about Norma Jeane, because it isn't just another book about Marilyn Monroe. It's a completely different, and very sensitive, view of a young girl married at 16 who is very much in love with her husband, Jim Dougherty, a long-time, veteran Los Angeles Police Officer and firearms instructor.

One reader of To Norma Jeane with Love, Jimmie said, “I'm a huge Marilyn collector/fan and have read many books about her life. This is one of the best books from someone who really knew her, along with the book "My Sister Marilyn". This is her first husbands story. It is touching and sad as well as being a tribute to a beautiful person that Marilyn/Norman Jean was. I read things in this book I've never heard before about Marilyn’s early years and It was easy to read and very enjoyable, It's a must for any fan. 'm so grateful to "Jim" for sharing his story!”

One reader of To Norma Jeane with Love, Jimmie “This fabulous book, written by Marilyn Monroe's first husband, Jim Dougherty, is touching! It is sad and funny at the same time! Jim Dougherty has only the best things to say about Marilyn (then Norma Jeane). his book is very detailed, and lets you get to know and understand the life of Norma Jeane better, so that you become very fascinated with her!  I've never read a better book written about either MM or NJ! If you don't have this, book, I highly recommend that you buy it!”
