I cannot speak highly enough of this book! This is one you definitely want to listen to instead of read. It goes very quickly on CDs, only 1.5 hours.
This book is based on a commencement speech that Dolly did at the University of Tennessee. She later elaborated on it and added things thought about after that fact.
What a treat! Dolly sounds like she is smiling the entire time she is reading this book. She sometimes breaks into song.
She talks a little about her life, and Dolly has always been an inspiration to me (and many others) since she came from nothing and achieved such great success.
There are great quotes in this book like, "It is a long way from the bottom of the Great Smokey Mountains to the top of the world, but I am here."
Her book is truly inspiring and motivating.
She talks some about her Imagination Library and literacy work, and there is some interesting research in it for those that educate or work in literacy outreach.
Dolly makes a lot of jokes at her own expense, and you might find yourself laughing aloud.
I would give this one more than a 10/10. I highly recommend it. Also, I think Laura Bessent would like this one.
