Going Our Way: My Life with Jim Ed Brown, Grand Ole Opry legend and member of the Country Music Hall of Fame

by Becky Perry Brown, Roxanne Atwood

This is a story, a story of living with a gentle giant, a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. He was kind, generous, and very slow to anger. This is a story about love, perseverance, and how love conquers all. Becky Perry Brown was married for fifty-four years to country music legend, Jim Ed Brown, member of The Grand Ole Opry for over fifty years, and a member of The Country Music Hall of Fame. While he followed his dream, her dream was to be a professional dancer. She was a model, taught self-improvement and dance classes. Eventually, she followed a dream and opened her own dance studio. For forty-six years, young people came and went through those doors, learning ballet, tap, and interpretive dance. They became a part of the story and Jim Ed and Becky were a part of theirs. By writing this book, Becky has shared some of the good times, some of the bad times, some funny stories, some lessons learned, and set straight some rumors. She had her doubts at times, but God has never failed her. His grace is sufficient always. He truly sent Jim Ed her way, and they had a wonderful journey.

For fans of Jim Ed Brown, or people who just want to know more about him, this is a fantastic read. I really enjoyed the insight into Jim Ed's life but also Becky's. It is an amazing story of Faith in God in overcoming trying times and in the good times as well. This is a must read for classic country fans.

What a wonderful read this is of the life of a CM legend. It’s real & raw in spots & brought me to tears at the end. A beautiful book. Thanks so much, Becky.

It was amazing book over all and I wish I could read it for the first time all over again. I learned a lot about the country legend Jim Ed Brown who I never heard of until I bought this book in Nashville! There were parts of the book that had me emotional as I've experienced cancer in m family or and divorce. I absolutely LOVE this book and I highly recommend others get it and read it!!
