New York Times bestselling author and Nashville legend Loretta Lynn
tells the story of her rise from deep poverty in Butcher Holler,
Kentucky, to the top of the male-dominated country music industry
-- now with new content. Reissued for the 40th Anniversary of the
Oscar-winning, Sissy Spacek-starring film of the same name, Coal
Miner's Daughter recounts Loretta Lynn's astonishing journey to
become one of the original queens of country music. Loretta grew up
dirt poor in the mountains of Kentucky, she was married at thirteen
years old, and became a mother soon after. At the age of
twenty-four, her husband, Doo, gave her a guitar as an anniversary
present. Soon, she began penning songs and singing in front of
honky-tonk audiences, and, through years of hard work, talent, and
true grit, eventually made her way to Nashville, the Grand Ole
Opry, eventually securing her place in country music history.
Loretta's prolific and influential songwriting made her the first
woman to receive a gold record in country music, and got her named
the first female Entertainer of the Year by the Country Music
Association. This riveting memoir introduces readers to all the
highs and lows on her road to success and the tough, smart, funny,
and fascinating woman behind the legend.
