Since her career began in the Nashville music scene of the 1960s, Parton has become revered for her work as a singer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter, selling over one hundred million records and being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. And beyond her musical achievements, she co-owns the Dollywood Company and is renowned for the philanthropic work of her Dollywood Foundation. This collection is a look into the inner workings of the woman known for penning such hits as "I Will Always Love You, " "Jolene, " and "9 to 5." Now, for the first time, you can find Parton's most inspirational, thought-provoking quotes in one place, providing an intimate and direct look into the mind of this legendary woman.
