Loretta Lynn: Coal Miner's Daughter by Loretta Lynn, George Vecsey

4.0

I have watched the film more times than I care to remember, so I finally got around to the book. Loretta came from poverty. It is amazing to think she rose from that to become such an icon. She worked hard to get there. This is a breeze to read. It is folksy, I almost felt like she was sitting beside me, telling her story. I don't always agree with her social perspectives, but I respect that she is from a different generation. She apparently was more forthcoming about her marriage in a later book, but I think she approaches her life and career in an honest way. It was a pleasure to read, I was particularly taken in by her early years in Butcher Hollow.
