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.

 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.
It hurt me. It's Beautiful. September 30, 2008
It took me many months to decide how I felt about this book. At first I was pissed off. What? June died a fat Junkie. My junie? But then it made sense.....along with Peggy's book...their longtime Caregiver...who wrote of being let go in the end.....can you say ENABLER...? And her bold proclamations of JOHN Carter being so distant and negectful toward his parents in the end. Perhaps, he was unsupportive of what was going on. Its hard to watch people hurt themselves.
THen I wrestled with his honesty. Slice it with a knife Honesty till your heart is flayed.
OH, right.... his father is Johnny Cash, its in his Blood.
The man comes from hearty, truthful people on both sides. The Carter's were not people that tiptoed around life by God, they grabbed it by the Balls and gave us country music.
And that Johnny Cash....well he left a little trail of his own.
Plus, John Carter Cash is a recovering boozer/User himself....been to so many interventions....like June and JOhn said....addiction ran thru their family like a Turkey thru the corn. They were so funny.....anyhow....When you suffer thru addiction....Call me Mrs. Rehab....and you struggle to lift others...and you bury freinds and family ......John Carter has lost much Family and Freinds...your knowledge of the disease grows but your sadness and despair does too.
I think this book is a testimony of his true love for his parents. Real love. For the real people they were.
And then he let us see them?
That was generous. He doesnt need the money.
He let us decide if we wanted to love them for the Real people they were.
I do, but in doing so, I lost the Rocks of Gibralters I wanted them to be.
John Carter Did good.
The best thing He has ever produced, hands down.
I love the Cd too.
Boy did good.
Boy moved me.
And as long as he is doing that, the Carter-Cash name(s) carry on.
Thank You.

 What a great Book August 27, 2008
This was a great book and defintly worth reading. June carter is such a intersting woman, it was such a treat to go inside thier lives thru thier only son John Carter. I would recomend anyone who is a fan to read this book. It is also great for anyone who is not a fan because it is a great story about love patience and faith.
Happiness & Hardships For The Carter-Cash Family August 14, 2008
In 1995, I had the wonderful opportunity to see Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash in concert. What a memory that forever lingers in my mind. I was aware of most of the hardships of the Cash/Carter Family, but was unaware of June's struggle with prescription drug abuse.
The Carter Family & The Cash family leaves a big legacy in American music. John Carter Cash pulls no punches through out the book. He shares their ups and down, happiness and torments. The life and legacy of June will forever live on through her music. Johnny and June were wonderful parents, and the love for their children shines through.
 Sad piece of Work July 7, 2008
This was a horrible book. Not only did he bash his sister, his Aunt and the medical and nursing staff that helped take care of his parents he did little but copy what his mom wrote in her book or what was written in "A Man Called Cash". Every other paragraph was just taken from one of these books with commentary from him. At one point in the book he calls his sister a pathological liar? I just think if you want to know the true story of this amazing women read her Autobiography and John's as well. This book was a major disappointment.
