Dolly Parton grew up the fourth of twelve children in a one-room cabin on Locust Ridge, and by the time she left us she had written more than 3,000 songs, built a theme park in the Smokies that employs thousands of her neighbors, and put more than 250 million books into children's hands through the Imagination Library. Tennessee watched all of it happen. She sang about this place her whole life, and no matter how famous she got, she never really left.
"Dolly: A Life of Many Colors" honors that life in a 160-page commemorative hardcover from The Tennessean and the Knoxville News Sentinel. It follows her from the cabin to the Opry stage, through the hits, the movies, and Dollywood, with compelling photographs and the stories behind them.
