Synopsis
Tammy Wynette's death in 1992 robbed the country music world of one of its most distinctive voices. One of her daughters, Jackie Daly, tells the singer's story from a child's perspective in TAMMY WYNETTE, which chronicles the downside of growing up in the shadow of a famous parent. Daly depicts her mother as a woman constantly in search of love and serially attracted to unsuitable partners. From her first husband, Euple Byrd, with whom she had three children, to her storied partnership with fellow country music star George Jones, few of her five spouses seem to have either recognized her talent or to have been willing to encourage her to pursue her career. Wynette funneled her troubled life into a series of songs realistically reflecting a woman's point of view, the best known of which was "Stand By Your Man," a vocal tour-de-force that poignantly captured the anguish of a wife seeking to make the best out of her marriage. Daly relates how her fragmented childhood, during which her mother was absent on tour for long periods and she was cared for by a succession of stepfathers, led to her and her siblings' distrust of the men in their mother's life--and ultimately to an ugly lawsuit against their stepfather questioning the circumstances of Wynette's death.

Publisher's Note

Reprint.

Industry Reviews
"This book captures the complicated relationship of a daughter to a mother who needed more parenting and guidance than her children did."
