  • "Tammy Wynette - The Biography. Tammy, born Wynette Pugh in Mississippi, bundled her three children into her car and, abandoning both a troubled marriage and a beauty shop job, roared off to make her name in the capital of country music, Nashville. An overnight success, Wynette took the persona of the tortured housewife and turned it into hit records. Yet Tammy never found the idealised love she desperately yearned for, and her soap-opera life included five husbands, four kids, thirty-plus operations and even a bizarre kidnapping attempt. Her life grew increasingly out of control until her tragic death at the age of fifty-five."

  • "The twentieth century had three great female singers who plumbed the depths of their private grief and transformed it into public drama. In opera there was the incomparable Maria Callas. In jazz, the tormented Billie Holiday. And in country music, it was Tammy Wynette. This is an intimate portrait of a music icon, the Queen of Heartbreak, whose powerful voice evoked universal pain and longing even as it belied her own."

Known for his acclaimed biographies of Neil Young, Russ Meyer, and Andy Milligan, Jimmy McDonough now delivers an emotional and revealing exploration of the life of the Queen of Heartbreak. Based on dozens of interviews, McDonough's book unveils a life of profound extremes, from Wynette's impoverished youth in Mississippi, to her meteoric rise after meeting legendary producer Billy Sherrill, to her star-crossed marriage to music legend George Jones. What emerges is an unforgettable view of a Nashville that no longer exists-and a woman whose life mirrored the sadness captured in her music."@en
