From Amazon: 

Loretta Lynn and the late Patsy Cline are legends—country icons and sisters of the heart. For the first time ever Loretta tells their story: a celebration of their music and their relationship up until Patsy's tragic and untimely death.
Full of laughter and tears, this eye-opening, heartwarming memoir paints a picture of two stubborn, spirited country gals who'd be damned if they'd let men or convention tell them how to be. Set in the heady streets of the 1960s South, this nostalgia ride shows how Nashville blossomed into the city of music it is today. Tender and fierce, Me & Patsy Kickin' Up Dust is an up-close-and-personal portrait of a friendship that defined a generation and changed country music indelibly—and a meditation on love, loss and legacy.

My Thoughts:

    I've been a Loretta Lynn fan since I was a toddler riding along with my dad in his pick up. He had two 8 track tapes in that truck: Johnny Cash & Loretta Lynn. If  you have read Coal Miner's Daughter and Still Woman Enough, you know about Patsy and Loretta's famous friendship. Here, Loretta tells the story in her own words: how they met, the secrets they shared....this is a truly beautiful story of a friendship that ended in tragedy when Patsy died at age 30. A beautiful, uncomplicated read, I highly recommend this book for  your next weekend book binge. I hope you enjoy the story as much as I did. It will haunt you long after you are finished reading.
