Far not everyone knows that Dolly Parton was one of 12 children who lived in a tiny lob cabin in Sevierville, Tennessee.
Her journey from poverty to stardom encourages millions worldwide.
Their family highly valued love and faith over material wealth.
She was raised in the Smoky Mountains and her early life was marked by poverty. They lived in a place where there were no electricity and running water.
What concerns her musical career, she was initially inspired by her family’s gospel music and her uncle’s guitar lessons. There were many people who expressed their disbelief but later felt proud of the fact they actually knew her personally.
Her husband has the same values and appreciates simplicity and privacy. The spouses enjoy their quiet life in Tennessee and are the happiest in the world despite the modest conditions and lack of luxury.
