I loved it.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Smoky Mountain Memories: Stories from the Hearts of the Parton Family (Hardcover)
I have read this book front to back three times!! I was born in Appalachia and have lived in the hills and hollows of East Tennessee all my life. I related to the deep family roots, and loving atmosphere their family had growing up. Willadeene captured not only their family spirit but, the pain, laughter, and triumphs of the Appalahcian people.

The tales of a unique family come to life in an amusing book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Smoky Mountain Memories: Stories from the Hearts of the Parton Family (Hardcover)
Originally, this book was released as "In the Shadow of a Song" in 1986. I read it then, and I read it again and enjoyed it as much as a second helping of grits and gravy and country ham. Brandon B., Tampa, FL
