Book Review: A boy named Johnny
Summary: 3 Stars
Vivian Cash's memoir of her life with Johnny is intimate and interesting. They knew each other for only three weeks when he was shipped overseas and their courtship consisted of almost daily letters full of passion and dreams. When he came home three years later, they married and within a year they were parents and he was on his way to music stardom.
Not surprisingly, Vivian comes across as the innocent, hardworking wife and mother in the story, Johnny as a good man who succumbed to and was forever changed by drugs, and June Carter as the 'devil-driven' predator who seduced him. It should be noted that Vivian's story takes up only 65 pages of the book; the remaining 247 pages consist of Johnny's love letters to her when he was stationed in Germany. They are sweet and ardent, reflecting the loneliness of a lovesick young man.
The book, published after the deaths of Vivian, Johnny, and June, contains many personal photos. Recommended for Johnny's fans.
