The woman famous for proclaiming, "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap" has proven to be a powerhouse singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, actress, author, businesswoman, and philanthropist. The ascent of country music superstar Dolly Parton from modest means to the most honored female country performer of all time is empowering and inspirational.
Parton's voice has brought her fame, allowing her to amass a $600 million fortune she doesn't mind sharing. In addition, Dolly donates to a foundation in her name, has created the Imagination Library that donates books to millions of kids, and even pays students to stay in school.
Her rags to riches story is inspiring, but her compassion and giving back have allowed others to break generational poverty, creating a lasting legacy.
This dynamic graphic novel, collecting the two-issue series and featuring art by illustrator Ramon Salas, explores her rise to fame and her passion for giving back to a community that has given her so much.
