Product Description:
I Walked the Line is a chronicle of first love, long-kept secrets, betrayal, forgiveness, and the truth--told at last by Johnny Cash's first wife, the mother of his four daughters. It is a book that had the full support of Johnny Cash, who insisted it was time for their story to be told, despite any painful revelations that might come to light as a result.
Many myths and contradictions regarding the life of Johnny and his family have been perpetuated for decades in film and literature. Vivian exposes previously untold stories involving Johnny's drug addiction, his fraught family life, and their divorce in 1968, as well as the truth behind the writing of two of Johnny's most famous songs, "I Walk the Line" and "Ring of Fire."
Supplemented by a never-before-published archive of love letters and family photos, I Walked the Line offers a deeper look at one of the most sig- nificant artists in music history. Here, fans and readers can experience the extraordinary account of love and heartbreak between Johnny and Vivian, and come to understand Vivian's dignified silence over the years. Through this elegant, revealing, and powerful memoir, Vivian Cash's voice is finally heard.

I've read this book twice and was touched both times by the love Johnny Cash expressed for Vivian. What a lady to hold her head high, raise her children despite the enormous heatbreak she experienced. Its amazing that people can't seem to get past the Johnny and June story long enough to realize he already had a "true love" , children and marriage. I don't see how anyone could ever condemn Vivian. My heart broke for her throughout the book. She's in heaven now and God bless her family.

I really enjoyed this book. You learn alot about Vivian Cash and her life with Johnny before June. Although I thought there were alot of letters (I only read up until 1953, until I got frustrated. I wanted to learn about there time together and not just all the letters Johnny wrote.) The letters were very insighting and you could really tell how much Johnny loved Vivian. I also thought it was pretty incredible how Vivian kept all those letters for so long.

I loved the book!! I've always had questions about dear little June Carter and this book answered them all. Poor Vivian and all she went through!! Bless her heart. Drugs and Booze be damned. I hate a man who cheats on his woman.

This book isn't really an autobiography like I thought it would be. Lots and lots of letters from Johnny to his first wife Vivian. It's pretty nice, but there was too much. I would have liked to hear more from Vivian.
I have to say Vivian was absolutely gorgeous. She was very stunning more so then June was. A Fox. But that's the only compliment I can have on this book.
For one thing Vivian really goes at it when it comes to June. June got Johnny on drugs. June seduced ... Read More

this is an excellant insight into how Johnny felt about Vivian before June came into the picture and disregarded the Cash's marriage and children.
