Dolly Parton's story is deeply rooted in Tennessee. She grew up as the fourth of 12 children in a one-room cabin on Locust Ridge and went on to write more than 3,000 songs, build Dollywood in the Smokies and put more than 250 millions books into children's hands through the Imagination Library.
Through it all, Tennessee remained close to her heart – a place she sang about throughout her career and never truly left behind, even as her life and career took her around the world.
Now, fans can honor Parton's extraordinary life with "Dolly: A Life of Many Colors," a 160-page commemorative hardcover from The Tennessean and the Knoxville News Sentinel. The exclusive collector's edition chronicles Parton's journey from her Appalachian roots to the Grand
Ole Opry stage, her biggest hits and movies and the creation of Dollywood, through compelling photographs with the stories behind them.
