New Memoir by Dolly Parton

America's sweetheart and famed country singer, Dolly Parton, is writing a new memoir that will be published November 2012 by publisher G.P. Putnam's Sons.

The book which is called, "Dream More" is styled to inspire and is based on a commencement speech that Parton gave at the University of Tennessee in 2009.  In a press release on the book Parton says, "I know that I've learned some things in my life that are important to me, and I think maybe they might be good ideas to pass along to you. Not as advice, but as information that I have found has helped me over the years. Enough to share, and a little to spare....If you're lucky, your dreams will never die, you may not always achieve them, but if you always have dreams and reach for them, you'll never be a failure. I still have dreams of what I want to do next."

Her speech to the 2009 graduating class followed a similar theme and became a viral hit on the internet.  This is Parton's second book; she has also written "Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business."  As a musician, Parton has had twenty six No. 1 hits on the Billboard Country Music charts, won countless awards and received a 2006 Kennedy Center Honor for her contribution to the arts.
