Travis Jackson Had A Wife chronicles the struggles of singer-songwriter Buck Cole and his wife, Jodie Cole, who become adored country-western stars, beacons of hope in a dispirited America, and intimates of a U.S. President and First Lady. Buck's story is a celebrity confession, a Western, a mystery of detection, and a country idyll, told by a man in search of his soul. Buck traces his path from a Nevada ranch to Nashville and back again as he contrasts fame and obscurity, romance and love, illusion and reality, and discovers that his losses are the secret to his discovery of a new and better life.
