(Thanks, Doug, for mentioning my site in the book!) "Love Always, Patsy - Patsy Cline's Letters to a Friend". This book, by Cindy Hazen and Mike Freeman, contains the letters that Patsy wrote to Treva Miller, the founder of the first Patsy Cline Fan Club, and eventually Patsy's close friend and confidante.
"Coal Miner's Daughter" is Loretta Lynn's biography about her own life. The movie with the same name, starring Sissy Spacek as Loretta, is based on this book, and Patsy plays an important role in Loretta's life. The picture to the left shows the March 1980 issue, and the picture to the right shows the latest issue. And "Still Woman Enough" is Loretta's second book.

And, of course, the movie about Patsy's life, "Sweet Dreams", released in 1985 and starring Jessica Lange as Patsy and Ed Harris as Charlie. The movie was re-released on video in late December, 1998. When the movie was first released, in 1985, there was also a book released, with the same name, in conjunction with the movie. Author's credit is given to George Vecsey and Leonore Fleisher, but it is really nothing more than an enhanced version of the movie's script, which was written by Robert Getchell.
