Description

The riveting and heart-wrenching story of country music diva Patsy Cline, from her against-all-odds rise from poverty and a strange, lonely childhood shrouded in secrecy, to her tragic and untimely death at the age of thirty when, ironically, she had finally achieved the triumph she had sought all her life.

Praise for The Life and Times of Patsy Cline (Distributed for the Country Music Foundation Press)

“Chatty, intimate, compulsively readable”—Washington Post

“Definitive . . . reads as her life was lived, like the melodramatic but hopelessly 'true' lyrics of a Nashville ballad.” —Los Angeles Times

“Essential reading for anyone seriously involved in a romance with country music.” —LA Weekly
