Includes bibliographical references.
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.
