A must for fans, these rare letters from Patsy Cline reveal a surprising, poignant, and fascinating look inside the heart and soul of a country music legend.
In 1955, Treva Miller Steinbicker, a starstruck girl from East Tennessee, approached an up-and-coming country western singer in the hopes of establishing her fan club. Patsy Cline cheerfully accepted the honor. Over the next four years, through an intimate exchange of letters, she would become Treva's close friend and confidante.
Love Always, Patsy is the collection of that remarkable, cherished correspondence--poignant, colorful, humorous, and genuinely revealing in its honesty and warmth. We meet the aspiring young singer from Winchester, Virginia, excited at the prospects of her burgeoning career--and devastated by its impact on a volatile and demanding marriage. We experience the joy of the birth of her daughter, the strains of stardom, and her loneliness on the road to success, and share in the rewards of a relationship with the one man who would become the love of her life. Above all, these intimate letters reveal the dreams and aspirations, the private heartbreak and the public pressures of an ordinary woman who would become one of the most recognized and beloved names in the history of country music.
Love Always, Patsy is a rare treasure for fans--an intimate self-portrait told in a voice that rings as true, as unique, and as powerful as the music that made Patsy Cline a legend.
