Summary: It's About Mothers and Daughters !!
Comment: In my opinion, many of the reviews posted for "A Daughter Recalls" are unflattering and unfair to the author. I do not believe she is a little golddigger, self-serving or dishonoring her mom. We have to face 3 basic facts: 1) Regardless of the role George Richey (husband # 5) played -or didn't play- in Tammy's untimely death, all should agree that the circumstances of her demise were very strange and beg certain questions. I feel Jackie is merely trying to air these questions publicly. 2) This is not(!) a true biography. Such a definitive story has yet to be written. "A Daughter Recalls" is much more concerned with Tammy's later years and especially with her phsical problems and various addictions/afflictions. And Tammy's own "Stand By Your Man" deals only with her life until 1979 - in a highly "sanitized" fashion. When the ultimate story does appear, I'll stand in line to buy it. 3) Most importantly, I believe " A Daugher Reacalls" is about a girl who loved her mother-but mom was rarely home. She was always on the go. There was little "quality time". To make matters worse, there was the "little matter" of the 5 marriages to men who took advantage (#s 2-4-5) or were drunks (#3). Good old boy Euple Byrd (#1) seems like the best of the bunch. With mom gone all the time, not always in the best of health-AND saddled with 4 inadequate step-fathers- you would expect Jackie and her sisters (She must be the spokesperson) to be devastated by Tammy's death-all the more so because she died under a cloud of suspicion. Strange that I feel the need to defend the author from reviewers but I hope the 4 sisters find some peace and closure in Tammy's death. I must admit the story has one prime flaw: It gave the definite air of a book rushed to print- perhaps before a final editing job. Too bad but not fatal. Classic country fans and certainly Tammy fans can ignore this (and the various carping at the author!) and safely buy. It's not a true biography but it's well worth a hardcover price.

Summary: A poignant tale of a celebrity mother/daughter relationship
Comment: I think the book brings out the important point that no mother/daughter relationship is perfect. Jackie could no more forsee what an ungrateful wretch George Richey is than her mother could. And it's obvious that Tammy wouldn't have listened anyway. This is the story of a daughter who has come to understand her mother's love and her struggles. It's about the hard choice mothers face when they have to balance being sole provider for their children while providing for their emotional needs as well, and coping with their own ambitions in their career. It's not an easy thing.
I admire Jackie's portrayal of her celebrity mother in a loving and honest way...
