Review Detail

The first Mrs Cash deserves our compassion, no one deserves to suffer public humiliation and to be betrayed before the entire world like she was. I guess she can't be faulted for wanting to write a book in order to feel seen, and acknowledged for the part she played in the Cash family. But her book is not valuable enough as a biography to say that it was a good piece of work.
The hundreds of love letters are overwhelming, and like a typical person I do not care about someone else's hundred love letters. No matter how beautiful they are. They don't really mean much to me when I know the marriage didn't last.
Ask for Vivian's narrative, clearly this 70 year old woman was willfully naive if she honestly believed that drugs and June Carter and everything else toward Johnny away from her. She can't accept the idea that Johnny may have gotten tired of life with her.
And then on top of all that she never moves on. She is still stuck on the idea that if only she had made it work with Johnny Cash, she would be happy today. This woman needed serious therapy. My goodness.
Please don't read this book, it's extremely disheartening.
