Lorrie Morgan Book

Lorrie Morgan was pretty from the day she was born, as sweet as the "Candy Kisses" that made her father, country great George Morgan, famous. Morgan's youngest daughter, she longed to follow in her daddy's footsteps. By five she was appearing on WSM-TV. At fourteen she sang at the Grand Ole Opry. It seemed nothing could stop her climb to stardom.

Refusing to go "pop" and change her honky-tonk sound, Lorrie was dropped by one record label after another. Shewas ready to quit when she found the heaven -- and hell -- of loving country star Keith Whitley. Keith's belief in Lorrie boosted her career; his addiction and sudden death nearly destroyed her...just as her records hit the top of the charts.

This moving account reveals the poignant ties of her songs -- "Dear Me," "Standing Tall," and "'Til a Tear Becomes a Rose" -- with Lorrie's own life. Frank, intimate, and inspiring, Lorrie Morgan is a wonder ful portait of a courageous woman whose music -- rich with the sultry Nashville sound -- has a special ability to touch our hearts.
