"When everything fell apart for Lynn Melnick, she spent the money from her NYPL fellowship
on a trip to Dollywood with her family. Melnick's trauma began long before 2018, but
events of that year forced her to relive portions of it--abortions, drug abuse, rape--even
as she was confronting new pain in the loss of close friends and family. Dolly Parton's
music had been a balm and a source of inspiration for decades, and so the trip to
Dollywood was "a personal reckoning with my traumatic, often violent past...the culmination
of a difficult year that left me wanting to get to the bottom of just what it is I
love and need to say about Dolly." Each chapter of this book explores some aspect
of Melnick's life through the lens of one of Parton's songs. Melnick is a mother,
wife, daughter, survivor, poet; this manuscript has her examining sex, sex work, religion,
jealousy, class, nostalgia, aging, illness, motherhood, addiction, abortion, and art,
among other topics that can be illuminated in a discussion and appreciation of Dolly's
music and life"
