This 366 page hardcover book details the life and times of the Browns--Jim Ed, Maxine and Bonnie as told by Maxine Brown. This memoir delves deeply into the Browns' remarkable past, beginning with the Depression-era childhood in rural south Arkansas. From it emerged a duo, Maxine and Jim Ed, and in 1954 they had a Top Ten hit with "Looking Back To See." Sister Bonnie later joined them and strenghtened by shared experience. Illustrated with never-before-published photographs, "Looking Back To See" is a remarkable story told here for the first time.
