About this listen
It was the scandal that rocked the world of music and destroyed a career. In 1958, rock-and-roll sensation Jerry Lee Lewis stepped off a plane in London to be greeted by a frenzy of fans. His entourage followed, including a teenaged girl. When a reporter asked how she knew the performer, she innocently gave an honest answer. “I’m his wife.”
Within hours, headlines erupted with the shocking news that Jerry Lee had secretly married his thirteen-year-old cousin, Myra. The scandal reverberated across the globe. His tour was canceled. They went home to be shunned in America, as well.
For a decade, Jerry Lee fought to revive his career while Myra grappled with the guilt of his downfall. When she discovered that he led a tumultuous double life, their marriage crumbled.
This is Myra’s story in her own voice – authentic, witty, and steeped in Southern charm. She opens up about her descent into darkness and her courageous journey to rebuild her life. Myra’s memoir is a testament to resilience, inspiring women to recognize their inner strength. She believes that if she can rise from her misfortunes, so can others.
Walk alongside Myra as she rebuilds her life – and discover the strength within your own story.
Myra is co-author of Great Balls of Fire, which was made into an MGM movie starring Dennis Quaid and Winona Ryder in 1989.
