Search - Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business

Grammy Award-winning singer & songwriter talks openly about her life--the hard times as well as the good--until now. an inspiring autobiography in which Dolly reveals how she got to where she is today, her no-nonsense attitude, and the down-home philosophy that has helped her from the start. This is the rags-to-riches story told with integrity, insight and her unfailing sense of humor.

dolly's writes songs better than books i think, but theres a chuckle or 2 in it at least.

In her tell-it-like-it-is style, Dolly describes her tough but loving upbringing in rural Sevier County, Tennessee, growing up with her parents, brothers and sisters in a close-knit home that while materially lacking, was more than rich in spirit. The fourth child of twelve, Dolly grew up amid the Smoky Mountain traditions that often fill her songs: from the beloved patchwork coat that her mother made for her, which was the basis for her classic "Coat of Many Colors," to her "Wildflowers Don't Care Where They Grow." Dolly's young life was filled with inspiration for the music that would lead the fiercely independent, ambitious eighteen-year-old out of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and bring her to Nashville with nothing but her guitar and her dreams. This long-awaited biography reveals great humor and heartfelt honesty of the real woman behind the superstar, who after scaling the heights of success, still considers herself a simple girl from the country.

I loooove this book. Dolly is such a great singer and a wonderful person.

I love Dolly!
