I didn't enjoy this as much as I would have hoped. Dolly is really a nice person but it sure doesn't come across.

Whether you are a fan of Dolly's music or not this book was interesting. I'm not much of a country music person but I really enjoyed listening to how Dolly came up with her songs.
Also, throughout the book, I learned more about her and what her inspirations were. I also learned that she wrote and sang I Will Always Love You. That was very popular growing up for the Whitney Houston rendition of the song.
Listening to the audio it almost sounds more like an interview and throughout the book they play snippets of her songs.

I have always admired Dolly Parton’s talent as an artist, her larger than life personality radiating from such a tiny glittering package, and her dedication to literacy advocacy through her Imagination Library. This was such a fun book to listen to because clips of songs are interspersed with Dolly’s anecdotes about her husband and family, professional relationships, what was going on in her life that influenced specific songs. It was also interesting to see Dolly’s spirituality shine through in her discussions of her “God Space” and the influence of her family, particularly her mama, grandaddy, and aunt in her spiritual formation.
This audiobook has a conversational/interview style, so I was curious how it compared to the physical book. Based on the images available online, I think this is one book where enjoying the audiobook narrated by the author would be paired perfectly with looking through the book while listening. The hardbound book contains gorgeous photos, lyrics, and Dolly’s memories.
At a little over 5 hours, this is a quick listen that I thoroughly enjoyed and it brought back so many childhood memories. Whether you are familiar with Dolly Parton’s songs or not, this is a fascinating look into the life of the country music icon.

It’s my second Dolly book of the year and I LOVED it! Her art of story telling is hands down amazing. The fact she can remember all the details of how so many of her songs came about is incredible. I did a combo of audio/physical book and hearing her tell her stories had some big laugh out loud moments but seeing her life and costumes through the book was just as thrilling. HIGHLY recommend for any and all Dolly fans!
