Dolly Parton’s music wasn’t what I heard throughout the house growing up and I’ve realized over the past couple of years that I really don’t know anything about this (now I believe to be remarkable) person! Working in a library, her name comes up more often than one might think in regards to her Imagination Library. After listening to the recorded book, I feel that Dolly is a simple yet fascinating person, and now I want to know more! I enjoyed the way this audiobook is laid out, almost a cross between a podcast, a traditional audiobook and an interview. It felt more cozy and made Dolly seem even more relatable. I can definitely see why she is idolized by so many. The snippets of song lyrics gave the book the extra component of making it feel so real. Would recommend, especially to those who know nothing of this resilient woman.
