Product Description
June Carter was born in the rugged mountains of Maces Springs, Virginia, to Ezra and Maybelle Carter, pioneers of country music. On stage from a very young age, June found her niche in the spotlight with her vivacious personality and down-home sense of humor. Her confidence and spirit were what attracted Johnny Cash to her in the late 1950s. On the road together, they quickly bonded. June was his helpmate and closest companion. They were married for forty years, through addiction and success, tragedy and triumph.
Anchored in Love is an inside look into the life of June Carter Cash, through the eyes of her only child with Johnny Cash-John Carter Cash. With skillful prose, he reveals new information about the legendary woman through his tender memories and heartwarming stories.

 Disappointed in You, John Carter April 29, 2009

I was so excited to get this book. I wanted to know the love of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. Instead, I was so terribly hurt and embarrassed for June and the facts of her life that were better kept secret...but instead sold for money.
Everybody knew Johnny Cash had a drug problem. Nobody needed to know that June did, although she was elderly and trusted that it would be kept in the family forever, I'm sure.
The book began with a useless, uninteresting history lesson that had to be included, otherwise the entire book would have been one sentence, "Mom was a junkie, too."
Disappointing, useless book.

I'm surprised that there weren't more reviews for this amazing grace of a book. John Carter Cash honored his parents by speaking the truth in love and relating precious - and painful - memories. I've admired June Carter Cash for years, but even more so after seeing so many close-up and complex sides to this lovely lady. John inherited his parents' gift for storytelling and used it to bravely share his mother with the world. This book is undoubtedly a tear-jerker (a good thing) and one of the finest I have ever read in my life.

This was a book I could not put down. John Carter Cash was honest, but remained respectful of both parents. He told a story that was real, even at times when the times were dark!

This book finally gives insight into the life and love of June Carter Cash, written with raw honesty by her and Johnny Cash's son. It takes you on a detailed ride of her family life, as well as her death at a fairly early age.I enjoyed it very much and recommend it to anyone with an interst in this amazing womans biography.
Lovely and Honest Memoir November 24, 2008

This is a lovely book, written by a loving son. He does not gloss over his father's addictions -- Cash was honest about that himself -- and relates how it hurt him and his mother. There is also a CD that was released that compliments the book -- John Carter Cash produced it while some of the world's biggest stars sing on it. In fact, his sister Carlene and Ronnie Dunn almost outperform Carter and Cash on the hit, Jackson. I recommend both.
