What's she doing?
How do you cheat on a writing test?
Miss Parton, front and center.
What'd I do?
Not you, sweet Stella Mae.
You.
Since you were so interested in talking during your essay test,
you can be the first one to read yours aloud.
All right, now, Dolly, please tell us
who your favorite famous person is and why you admire them.
Why, that's easy, Miss Moody.
It's Miss Dolly Parton, rising star of the Grand Ole Opry.
She was born on a cold winter's night
in Locust Ridge, Tennessee.
She was single before she could talk.
Doc Thomas swore she came out screaming in the TV.
Yeah, I bet.
Hey, this is my paper, and I can write what I want.
You can fail me, Miss Moody, but I get to see my piece,
don't I?
Tell me more about this star, Miss Dolly Parton.
Well, she was always surrounded by music,
not just her people, no, but by the very mountains themselves.
What do you mean by that?
I mean, ever since I was a baby, I always heard it.
The music.
Mountains make music that sound like angels singing
or devils fighting.
Depending on the weather and her mood.
She's had a heavenly choir owner ever since.
And then Miss Moody wrote on my paper, Miss Dolly Parton,
I think you've got some real potent
tails for expressing yourself and writing.
And what exactly do you think she means by that?
I have no idea, but I know it's good.
I think she meant potential.
Dolly has potential as a writer.
I praise coming from Miss Tallulah Moody.
She's a college girl, you know.
She's the smartest woman I know.
Since when?
Since she's seen my talent.
Here, Dolly, try this on, baby.
I need to see if it's long enough.
Miss Moody told me to keep working on my paper
and read it to the class next week.
Can you have my coat done by then, Mama?
I got to wear it for my reading.
Well, I'm going to need something
extra special for the lining.
I brought this for you coat, Dolly.
It's for my wedding dress.
Oh, thank you, Aunt Estelle.
It matches my eyes.
I know.
I got some old dirty drawers you could have, Dolly.
Nice color brown to match the dirt behind your ears.
As Mama worked on that coat, you could
start to feel the light flowing back
in our little mountain home.
Something dark had tried to steal our joy.
But with every color, every stitch
that Mama sewed on that coat, the darkness receded
and the light flooded in.
