About this Item

In 1955, Treva Miller Steinbicker, a starstruck girl from East Tennessee, approached an up-and-coming country western singer in the hopes of establishing her fan club. Patsy Cline cheerfully accepted the honor. Over the next four years, through an intimate exchange of letters, she would become Treva's close friend and confidante. Love Always, Patsy is the collection of that remarkable, cherished correspondence - poignant, colorful, humorous, and genuinely revealing in its honesty and warmth. We meet the aspiring young singer from Winchester, Virginia, excited at the prospects of her burgeoning career - and devastated by its impact on a volatile and demanding marriage. We experience the joy of the birth of her daughter, the strains of stardom, her loneliness on the road to success, and share in the rewards of a relationship with the one man who became the love of her life. Above all, these intimate letters reveal the dreams and aspirations, the private heartbreak and the public pressures of an ordinary woman who would become one of the most recognized and beloved names in the history of country music.
