The Country Singer: The Story of Loretta Lynn
This biography of the famous country music star Loretta Lynn examines her humble beginnings as the daughter of a coal miner growing up poor in Appalachia during the Great Depression.

Loretta married the baby's father and for many years scraped a living washing and cleaning other people's clothes, picking strawberries and other menial tasks. Then, Loretta Lynn's beautiful voice was discovered, and she rose above her difficult childhood to become one of America's greatest country music stars.
