I am Dolly Parton

"Born into a close-knit but poor family in Tennessee, Dolly Parton learned how to appreciate everything she had and how to work for what she wanted. From a young age she knew she was meant for a life in music. Her first radio performance was at just ten years old, and by the time she was thirteen she'd sung on country music's biggest stage, the Grand Ole Opry. Dolly soon became one of the most famous and beloved musicians in the country by singing the stories of everyday people and shining her light and acceptance on everyone she encountered" --
