Buddy Holly's widow is trying to keep the woman whose name was made famous by the 1950s hit song "Peggy Sue" from selling a book about her friendship with the rocker.

Maria Elena Holly says Peggy Sue Gerron's "Whatever Happened to Peggy Sue?" is unauthorized and will harm her late husband's name, her own reputation and that of her company, Holly Properties.

"It's very interesting that this woman makes up all these stories," Maria Elena Holly said Friday. "He never, never considered Peggy Sue a friend."
Gerron said material for the book came from about 150 diary entries she wrote during the time she knew the singer.
Maria Elena Holly said she would sue if excerpts she's read online appear in the book, which is due in bookstores later this month.
