Summary
A New York Times Bestseller
The legendary Dolly Parton shares for the first time her deeply held philosophy of life and her heartfelt hopes for everyone.
Based on the hugely popular commencement speech Dolly Parton gave at the University of Tennessee, which became a sensation, Dream More is a deeper and richer exploration of the personal philosophy she has forged over the course of her astonishing career as a singer, songwriter, performer, and philanthropist.
Using her speech as a jumping-off point, Parton explores the four great hopes she urges us to embrace: dream more, learn more, care more, and be more. She culls examples of these values from her own life as illustrations, from growing up poor in the hills of eastern Tennessee to her experiences as the iconic performer she has become today.
Written by one of the cultural legends of our time, Dream More is a poignant and uplifting anthem for all who want to take charge of their lives and forge a future on their own terms.

Review Quotes
“Who among us can
resist the inimitable country wisdom and wit of Dolly Parton?”
—Barnes & Noble, editorial review
“Country music’s
spunky doyenne presents an inspirational, feel-good stocking stuffer…Parton’s
kooky, boobcentric sense of humor gels nicely with pages of song lyrics,
anecdotes, and countrified witticisms. A pocket-sized pick-me-up for fans and
dreamers.”
—Kirkus Reviews
