Born the fourth of twelve children, Dolly Parton’s early life in a tiny, one-room cabin without plumbing or electricity was anything but easy. Yet amid the hardships, Dolly found warmth, laughter, and love—literally and figuratively—even sharing beds with her siblings on cold nights, joking, “The kids peed on me every night… that was the only warm thing we knew in the wintertime.” Music and family were her refuge, shaping the resilient, joyful spirit that would fuel her legendary career. Dolly’s story reminds us that true wealth lies not in possessions, but in love and laughter that carry us through life’s toughest moments.
