Book on CD narrated by Sissy Spacek
3.5***
This autobiography takes the reader from Loretta’s birth (sometime when FDR was president – she refuses to reveal how old she really is) to stardom.
I found this very interesting. She tells her story in a forthright and honest manner, relating both the good and the bad.

Brief overview: Story of Loretta Lynn, the earlier years, listened to audio- narrated by Sissy Spacek.
I enjoyed reading about Lynn’s life, her experiences with fans (her friends) and family, and her outlook on life (philosophies, women’s rights, etc).
