3.0
I loved the movie. The book was a little hard to read in 2020. Written in the 1970s the book has some seriously outdated ideas and was a little (a lot) cringe-worthy.
Married at 14 to an older man, 4 children by the age of 18, 8th grade education. And she went on to be one of the most successful artists in country music.
Still love Loretta Lynn, still love the movie, glad to get this book off my TBR pile.

Excellently paced memoir, even if some of Loretta's viewpoints are Problematic and Dated as fuck (also, her marriage to Doolittle started off skeevy as all hell, regardless of how much she loves him now). It was written in the 1970s, so that brings a certain flavor to the reading.
Most surprising thing learned? Shel Silverstein wrote for her!
