About this listen
A colorful homage to country music matriarch Dolly Parton that captures the unique humor, no-nonsense wisdom, flash, and sass of one of America's most iconic stars.
One of 12 children raised in a shack in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Dolly Parton grew to become an international superstar. She is a reflection of the American dream, a role model for the ages, and a mentor to a whole new generation of entertainers. There is much to be learned from her unique brand, her big heart and spirituality, her grit and work ethic, which prompt the question, "What Would Dolly Do?"
This lively collection - part biography, part inspiration, part words of wisdom and life lessons - highlights the very best of the "Dolly Mama", from her quotable Dollyisms, unrelenting positivity, and powerful spirituality, to her belief in the human ability to overcome adversity. Drawing on Dolly's two autobiographies, cookbooks, and songs; books by her family members; biographies; and decades worth of television, print interviews, and performances, What Would Dolly Do? shows you how to tap into your Inner Dolly with confidence, faith, and humor.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

For the first time ever, Loretta tells their story: a celebration of their music and their relationship up until Patsy's tragic and untimely death. Full of laughter and tears, this eye-opening, heartwarming memoir paints a picture of two stubborn, spirited country gals who'd be damned if they'd let men or convention tell them how to be.

Reese Witherspoon’s grandmother Dorothea always said a combination of beauty and strength made Southern women “whiskey in a teacup”. We may be delicate and ornamental on the outside, she said, but inside, we’re strong and fiery. Reese’s Southern heritage informs her whole life, and she loves sharing the joys of Southern living with practically everyone she meets. She takes the South wherever she goes with bluegrass, big holiday parties, and plenty of Dorothea’s fried chicken.

Louie Anderson has been channeling his beloved mom in his iconic stand-up comedy for decades - but she passed away before getting to see him reach new heights with his breakout role.

He also has plenty of laugh-out-loud stories about his incredibly resilient mother and his 10 siblings, as well as observations on the absurdities of life.

It's a report tempered by hard times. In "Matricide", Daum unflinchingly describes a parent's death and the uncomfortable emotions it provokes; and in "Diary of a Coma" she relates her own journey to the twilight of the mind. But Daum also operates in a comic register. With perfect precision, she reveals the absurdities of the marriage-industrial complex, of the New Age dating market, and of the peculiar habits of the young and digital.

Diamonds and Gold!
I never paid that much attention to Dolly Parton, but I saw this book and decided to try it. Author Lauren Marino has turned me into a fan of this fantastic woman. I had no idea she was so multifaceted. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to be inspired.

LOVE IT! Great Pick Me Up!
Was feeling lethargic and lazy in this quarantine. This actually helped bring me out of my slump. Plus it was so thoroughly entertaining!! Dolly is SO freaking fascinating. Walked away with a ton of fun stories and actionable life tips I can take with me. I'd love for my kids to read this book too one day...when I have them. lol

I could not get past chapter 4 of this. Annoying narration, silly content. Page after page of how to apply makeup like a drag queen. Returned
