Reviews"I was totally absorbed by The Three of Us . Georgette Jones was born into the unreal world of country music royalty and automatically expected to be the heir apparent. Like everyone else on this earth, no one in her family is, or was, perfect. There were ups and there were downs….Georgette writes of both." -Jan Howard, Grand Ole Opry star, "The Three of Us relates the inner struggle of country music princess Georgette Jones, who examines the contrasting childhoods of her larger-than-life superstar parents-George Jones and Tammy Wynette-to find meaning and make her own way in life. She tells of the fission in her nuclear family and its subsequent fallout as well as of her relationships with her step-parents-two sinners and one saint. This memoir is a must-read for any child of D-I-V-O-R-C-E." - Eileen Sisk, author of Buck Owens: The Biography, "Reads like a song classic full of heartache, disappointment, tragedy, and redemption" - Publishers Weekly, "Without artifice or attitude, the only child of country music's royal couple…tells the heartrending story of her quest to gain her parents' love and approval. One's impulse throughout is to lay the book aside, reach out and hug her." -Edward Morris, former country music editor for Billboard, "The Tammy Wynette that I knew was the most loyal, strong friend anyone could ever have. Her daughter Georgette reminds us that Tammy was that, and much, much more. And it is great to have someone write honestly about the George Jones that isn't a wild country outlaw! He may have drank to hide it, but he is actually shy!" -Tanya Tucker

SynopsisThe marriage of George Jones and Tammy Wynette was hailed as a union made in honky-tonk heaven. And when little Tamala Georgette Jones was born in 1970, she was considered country musics heir apparent. For the first four years of her life, Georgette had two adoring parents who showed her off at every opportunity, and between her parents, grandparents, older sisters, and cheering fans, Georgettes feet seldom hit the ground. But as in every fairy tale, dark forces were just around the corner. Her parents fought, and George drank. George and Tammy divorced when Georgette was four, and it would be years before she understood just what that meant. "The Three of Us "is an honest and heartfelt look into the life of a broken family living in the glare of the public spotlight. Like so many of her generation, Georgette had to make sense of loving two parents who couldnt love each other. With never-before-told stories about George and Tammy, it recounts Tammys descent into prescription pill addiction, her dependence on her fifth husband, George Richey, and her untimely death at the age of fifty-five. Georgette opens up about her broken relationship with her father and what it took for them to come back together. Lastly, Georgette discusses the ups and downs of her adult life: failed marriages, illness, an arrest, and now, an unexpected but thrilling career as a musician. "The Three of Us "is a story of both extreme privilege and great trials, of larger-than-life people with larger-than-life problems. Rich in country music history, it contains twists and turns, highs and lows, but in the end, it stands as an intensely moving tale of love, loss, heartbreak, and what it means to be a family., GEORGE & TAMMY IS SOON TO BE A LIMITED SERIES--STARRING JESSICA CHASTAIN AND MICHAEL SHANNON!

Interesting and insightful.
It was easy reading and it gave a lot of insight into the life of Tammy Wynette. Not as much about George Jones, but since Georgette was estranged from him most of her young life, it’s to be expected. I enjoyed the book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
