Synopsis

Dolly Parton is a little girl with a great big voice. She loves singing for her corncob doll and friends at church. Music fills her heart so plumb full that young Dolly starts writing her own tunes. Unable to afford a guitar, she strings up a broken
mandolin and plays for anyone she can corral—ducks, pigs, and her squallin’ brothers and sisters. But Dolly longs for a real live audience to see and hear her perform.

When Dolly gets her first big break, she’s scared to perform in front of hundreds of people. Will she summon up her courage and step out onto the Grand Ole Opry stage in Nashville?

Take a seat and join the audience to meet the dazzlin’ Dolly Parton!

Goodreads review by Rod on November 07, 2022

Dolly Parton is 5 stars. This book though is 2 stars, as it only follows her through high school graduation and wants to be an inspirational story about overcoming stage fright and sticking to your dreams.
