Rosanne Cash
For over three decades, Rosanne Cash has been one of the most compelling figures in popular music, having moved from Nashville stardom to acclaim as a singer-songwriter and author of essays and short stories. Her memoir, Composed (Viking, $16.00), traces her fraught relationship with her father, country legend Johnny Cash; gradually working her way to chart-topping success; the loss of her parents; and finding fulfillment in motherhood and in her husband and musical collaborator, John Leventhal. Rosanne Cash’s fourteen albums have charted eleven number-one singles. She is the author of Bodies of Water and the children’s book, Penelope Jane: A Fairy’s Tale. Her essays and fiction have appeared in The New York Times, Rolling Stone and New York magazine.
