About this item

In this insightful biography, John Carter Cash paints a very personal portrait of his father's rich inner life, exploring Johnny Cash's creative spirit, his fundamentally loving nature, and his inspiring persistence. A record of a deep and ongoing conversation between father and son, House of Cash documents Johnny Cash's drive to live deliberately as he worked to determine his values, share them with those close to him, and reaffirm them on a daily basis. Topics covered include the nature of creativity, the responsibilities that come with fatherhood and friendship, the need for humility and morality, the value of reading, and the obligation we all have to sympathize with the downtrodden.
