What Would Dolly Do?

How to Be a Diamond in a Rhinestone World

By: Lauren Marino

Narrated by: Thérèse Plummer

A spirited homage to Dolly Parton that captures the unique humor, no-nonsense wisdom, flash, and sass of one of America's most iconic stars.

One of twelve children raised in a shack in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Dolly Parton grew to become an international superstar famous for classic songs such as "Jolene," "9 to 5," "The Coat of Many Colors," and "I Will Always Love You." She is a reflection of the American dream, a role model for the ages, and a mentor to a whole new generation of entertainers. There is much to be learned from her unique brand, her big heart and spirituality, her grit and work ethic.

This lively, illustrated book--part biography, part inspiration, part words of wisdom and life lessons--highlights the very best of the "Dolly Mama," from her quotable Dollyisms, unrelenting positivity, and powerful spirituality, to her belief in the human ability to overcome adversity. Drawing on Dolly's two autobiographies, cookbooks and songs; as well as artifacts; books by her family members; biographies; and decades worth of television, print interviews and performances, What Would Dolly Do? shows you how to tap into your Inner Dolly with confidence, faith, and humor.

Diamonds and Gold!

I never paid that much attention to Dolly Parton, but I saw this book and decided to try it. Author Lauren Marino has turned me into a fan of this fantastic woman. I had no idea she was so multifaceted. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to be inspired.

LOVE IT! Great Pick Me Up!

Was feeling lethargic and lazy in this quarantine. This actually helped bring me out of my slump. Plus it was so thoroughly entertaining!! Dolly is SO freaking fascinating. Walked away with a ton of fun stories and actionable life tips I can take with me. I'd love for my kids to read this book too one day...when I have them. lol

Fan of Dolly but not of this book

I could not get past chapter 4 of this. Annoying narration, silly content. Page after page of how to apply makeup like a drag queen. Returned
