Dolly Parton’s childhood in a tiny, one-room cabin with 11 siblings in the Smoky Mountains was far from easy, but as she fondly recalls, “The kids peed on me every night… That was the only warm thing we knew in the wintertime.” This humorous and touching memory perfectly captures the warmth, resilience, and love that shaped Dolly’s early years. Despite poverty and hardship, music and family filled her life with joy and strength, paving the way for her legendary career.
