Coal Miner’s Daughter recounts Loretta Lynn’s astonishing journey to become one of the original queens of  country music. Loretta grew up dirt poor in the mountains of Kentucky, she was married at thirteen years  old, and became a mother soon after. At the age of twenty-four, her husband, Doo, gave her a guitar as  an anniversary present. Soon, she began penning songs and singing in front of honky-tonk audiences, and, through years of hard  work, talent, and true grit, eventually made her way to Nashville, the Grand Ole Opry, eventually securing  her place in country music history. Loretta’s prolific and influential songwriting made her the first woman to receive a gold record in country music, and got her named the first female Entertainer of the Year by the  Country Music Association. This riveting memoir introduces readers to all the highs and lows on her road  to success and the tough, smart, funny, and fascinating woman behind the legend.
