GEORGE & TAMMY IS SOON TO BE A LIMITED SERIES-STARRING JESSICA
CHASTAIN AND MICHAEL SHANNON! Georgette Jones-the only child of
country music's "First Couple," George Jones and Tammy Wynette-pens
a memoir about life with her parents and the journey back to a
relationship with her estranged father. The marriage of George
Jones and Tammy Wynette was hailed as a union made in honky-tonk
heaven. And when little Tamala Georgette Jones was born in 1970,
she was considered country music's heir apparent. For the first
four years of her life, Georgette had two adoring parents who
showed her off at every opportunity, and between her parents,
grandparents, older sisters, and cheering fans, Georgette's feet
seldom hit the ground. But as in every fairy tale, dark forces were
just around the corner. Her parents fought, and George drank.
George and Tammy divorced when Georgette was four, and it would be
years before she understood just what that meant. The Three of Us
is an honest and heartfelt look into the life of a broken family
living in the glare of the public spotlight. Like so many of her
generation, Georgette had to make sense of loving two parents who
couldn't love each other. With never-before-told stories about
George and Tammy, it recounts Tammy's descent into prescription
pill addiction, her dependence on her fifth husband, George Richey,
and her untimely death at the age of fifty-five. Georgette opens up
about her broken relationship with her father and what it took for
them to come back together. Lastly, Georgette discusses the ups and
downs of her adult life: failed marriages, illness, an arrest, and
now, an unexpected but thrilling career as a musician. A story of
both extreme privilege and great trials, of larger-than-life people
with larger-than-life problems, The Three of Us is rich in country
music history. It is filled with twists and turns, highs and lows,
but in the end, it stands as an intensely moving tale of love,
loss, heartbreak, and what it means to be a family.
