Dolly Parton, the singer, songwriter, actress, music publisher, theme park owner, television producer, philanthropist and cosmetics maker has kept the sense of humour and the down-home philosophy that helped her from the start. In this memoir, she tells her personal stories about growing up in Tennessee, her friends and family, her unique marriage and her friendships with other stars. She also talks about how to build a career in showbusiness and how far women can go today.
