"Abandoned by their parents as toddlers, Willie and Bobbie Nelson found their love of music almost immediately through their grandparents, who raised them in a dusty small town in east Texas. Their close relationship ... is the longest-lasting bond in either of their lives. In alternating chapters, this ... dual memoir weaves together their lives as they experienced them both side-by-side and apart with powerful, emotional stories from growing up, playing music in public for the first time, and the trials they each faced in adulthood as Willie pursued a songwriting career and Bobbie faced a series of challenging relationships and a musical career that only took off when attitudes about women began to change in Texas"--

My first book by Willie and I was completely drawn in in just a few short pages. Alternating chapters from Willie and his sister Bobbie, I was blown away by the unfailing determination of this family and the long, hard path to get to where they are today. I was truly amazed, suffered right along with them and I wanted nothing more than to slowly take in every step of their journey. Hearing Willie talk about his sister and her musical talent made me just want to run out and listen to every song out there as clearly she has something I've been missing. Tragic stories, beautiful moments, and many, many moments of me shaking my head at Willie and all of his “wandering.” (lol) Can't help but love the man anyway and thank god he's still sharing his beautiful and charismatic personality and music with us.
