    Ain't Nobody's Fool The Life And Times Of Dolly Parton From Martha Ackmann
    Jan 23 2026
    A larger-than-life new biography of country music legend and philanthropist Dolly Parton.In Ain't Nobody's Fool: The Life and Times of Dolly Parton, Martha Ackmann chronicles the life of an American Original. From her impoverished childhood in the Smoky Mountains to international stardom as a singer, songwriter, actress, businesswoman, and philanthropist, Dolly Parton has exceeded everyone's expectations except her own. During a time when the Beatles set the standard for contemporary music, Dolly appeared on a local country music television show that her high school classmates thought was pure cornpone. The day after her high school graduation, she boarded a bus for Nashville, but record executives turned her down. One said her voice sounded like a screech owl.When Dolly finally got her foot in the door, her talent and focus catapulted her to the top of country charts, the pop world, and movie stardom. Yet her success came at a price. Shunned by many in Nashville who saw her ambition as a betrayal of her country music roots, Dolly became the target of death threats, lawsuits, and a judge who threatened to throw her in jail. She nearly collapsed on-stage and later succumbed to depression that pushed her to the brink, but she refused to be counted out and came back stronger than ever developing Dollywood, the amusement park that became the economic engine of East Tennessee, and founding the Imagination Library that provides free books to children around the world. Her philanthropy to health organizations led to creation of the Moderna COVID vaccine. And, finally, she returned to her roots, recording bluegrass albums that became the most celebrated of her unparalleled 60-year career.Ain't Nobody's Fool is a deep dive into the social, historical, and personal forces that made Dolly Parton one of the most beloved and unifying figures in public life and includes interviews with friends, family members, school mates, Nashville neighbors, members of her band, studio musicians, producers, and many others. It also features never before seen photographs and unearthed documents shedding light on her family's hardscrabble life. More than anything, Martha Ackmann's fresh and animated new book proves Dolly Parton knows just who she is and she ain't nobody's fool.

    The Daily Mess Who Started The I Want More Movement Plus Who Is Shutting It Down
    Jan 23 2026
    I’m always asking questions. The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… It’s not just me, it feels like we’re always asking for a little more. What generation started this? Plus…can you name the generation that’s had enough of getting a little more? I’m Arroe… I am a daily writer. A silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate. I call it The Daily Mess. A chronological walk through an everyday world. Yes, it’s my morning writing. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later. When a subject arrives, I dig in. It’s still keeping a journal! By doing the research the picture becomes clearer. This is the Daily Mess…

    Anna Binder Reardon's Wethersfield Road This Seasons Must Read And Total Experience
    Jan 22 2026
    Lurking in the basement of her life is the ache of depression and the torment of life as an addict. Meet Amelia, a character closely based on the tumultuous youth of author Anna Binder Reardon. In Reardon’s dramatization of her own life, Wethersfield Road is a moving story of healing. Through it all, Amelia has her besties by her side: a bottle and a bong, the binge-purge cycle, and risky hookups. She's the cross-faded chaos queen of nobody's dreams. Feeling lost, Amelia's connection with her horse, Hope, seems to be her last reason to stick around. But even that simplest love can't save her by itself. She topples into a shameful series of crash landings. From domestic violence to cringeworthy sexual encounters and drug-induced shame spirals, she can't catch her breath. A brutal equine wake-up call propels Amelia to rescue herself in the way only she can. She must first resist her default setting: self-sabotage.
