Composed: a Memoir

Singer, songwriter, performer and eldest child of Johnny Cash, Rosanne Cash has been a musician for over 30 years. In her memoir, Composed, she writes of her upbringing in southern California. She tells of growing
up with and without her father. When Cash became successful he purchased a mountain top in California. Unfortunately the property had rattlesnakes on it!

Rosanne and her sisters usually only saw their father when he wasn't touring. His well known battles with addictions not surprisingly caused her mother to become bitter and unhappy. Rosanne attended strict Catholic schools as a child and hated them. As a teen she spent summers with her sisters and father in Tennessee. 

Ms. Cash recounts her journey to becoming a successful songwriter and recording star and tells of how proud her father was of her success. She includes the loving eulogies she gave for her parents and stepmother. This memoir is candid and compelling and you may find yourself looking for certain passages again as they pertain to the universality of love and loss.
