"Country Music's Award-Winning And Bestselling recording artist, Merle
Haggard, brings us his long-awaited new autobiography,
Merle Haggard's My House Of Memories-a riveting account of Haggard's
extremely turbulent and successful life. Picking up where his 1982
autobiography, Sing Me Back Home, left off, Haggard recounts his earliest
childhood memories, revealing previously untold stories about his birth
and
troubled upbringing in a converted railroad boxcar.He recalls the
innocents
of the 1950s, when a boy could safely ride the rails with hobos and share
their transient camps. He talks about his father's death when Merle was
nine
and how his childish disobedience soon erupted into full-blown
delinquency...On his nineteenth birthday, we follow him inside San Quentin
and read a chilling account about a cellmate who begs Merle to join him in
an escape that ultimately ends with the man's death. Haggard also recalls
his befriending of Caryl Chessman, the notorious 1950s serial rapist, and
the time they shared before Chessman's execution.
