Description
Description
Retta Lee Jones is blessed with a beautiful voice and has big dreams of leaving her tiny Tennessee hometown. So with a beaten-down car, a pocketful of hard-earned waitressing money, and stars in her eyes, Retta sets out to make it big in Nashville. But the road to success isn't a smooth one, and a girl's gotta figure out who she can trust in a town full of showmen and scammers. Soon Retta begins to have doubts: Can she make her mark and still stay true to herself?

"Reading about Retta Lee Jones's journey to Nashville was a lot like reading my own diary, except she had prettier boots. It's a wonderful story about dreams and determination that reminds us all to squeeze the most out of every single day." - Dolly Parton
