One of the most beloved country music stars of all time gives us the first collection of her lyrics and, in her own words, tells the stories that inspired her most popular songs, such as "Coal Miner's Daughter," "Don't Come Home A' Drinkin'," and, of course, "I'm a Honky Tonk Girl." Loretta Lynn's rags-to-riches story--from her hardscrabble childhood in Butcher Holler, Kentucky, through her marriage to Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn when she was thirteen, to her dramatic rise to the top of the charts--has resonated with countless fans throughout her more than fifty-year career. Now, the anecdotes she shares here give us deeper insight into her life, her collaborations, her influences, and how she pushed the boundaries of country music by discussing issues important to working-class women, even when they were considered taboo. Readers will also get a rare look at the singer's handwritten lyrics and at personal photographs from her childhood, of her family, and of her performing life. Honky Tonk Girl: A Life in Lyrics is one more way for Lynn's fans--those who already love her and those who soon will--to know the heart and mind of this remarkable woman.

The words are from the heart of a once-shattered young man. This man did not stay bitter, nor did he let his tough experiences define him. The young man turned into a mature man who wants the world to understand the good and bad in life. Life is not just about celebration and success. Life is full of many different directions and outcomes. These written words will help the readers understand that the universe is interrelated. One element is dependent upon the other for a balance in life. Theres a saying that goes, The darkest hour of the night is before the rise of the sunlight. The words, both in his lyrics and poetry, are to help people find their light through the darkest time in their lives.

Presented inside is a creative collection of my personal poetry, alluring articles, and savvy songs that I’ve conjured up to capture your curiosity. My book provides a powerful message to readers of all ages. The context of my writing is surprisingly simple to read and relate to, therefore one doesn’t have to be a literature scholar to comprehend it. This wide variety of little ditties mostly consist of my true to life experiences and personal feelings based on drugs, love, religion, and nature. My approach is to write about what people particularly feel uncomfortable talking about. My goal is to provide the reader with a profound knowledge of how my uniquely assembled collage of writing reflects on the psyche of today’s society. I truly believe that this book will educate, intrigue, and inspire the readers intellect. I’ve also included an additional bonus feature which reveals my perspective on how to live a successful life, and how one person alone can make a significant difference in this world. Which I believe is our purpose for living. Half of the proceeds from this astonishing book will be donated towards a fantastic foundation that I’m creating called A Hand Up, Not A Hand Out. It’s a non profit organization designed to help people who have creative minds obtain the interest free funding for starting a small business, invention patents, publishing a book, song writing or things of that nature. I know we all can agree that it takes money to make money and I personally feel that it’s wrong to deprive people of their dreams because of financial difficulties. So please help me help us all by purchasing this one of a kind, everlasting book of keepsakes. I encourage every person to pursue their dreams because I believe that’s what being a free American is all about.

Jesus Heals a Deaf and Mute Man Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis. There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him. After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's tongue. He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, "Ephphatha!" (which means "Be opened!"). At this, the man's ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly. Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. People were overwhelmed with amazement. "He has done everything well," they said. "He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak." (Mark 7:31-37 NIV)

“Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand.” —Stevie Wonder, “Sir Duke” In 2003, young professor Ferentz LaFargue traveled to Paris, where his fiancée, Tricia, declared she wasn’t happy with their relationship, ending what he thought was a wonderful engagement. After days of “craying”—“that sorrow-laden blend of crying and praying delivered in perfect pitch by those in mourning”—Ferentz happened upon Stevie Wonder’s 1976 classic double album Songs in the Key of Life. Listening to it anew was a healing, spiritual trip down memory lane, helping him to come to terms with his breakup and reflect on how songs in general have been linked to his life. In this book, Ferentz invites us to get cozy and listen as he hits PLAY on meaningful tracks from Wonder and others, including Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, LL Cool J, Beenie Man, Sheryl Crow, Roberta Flack, Donny Hathaway, and Black Sabbath. He recalls: How the fusion of rock and rap in the breakthrough Run-D.M.C./Aerosmith video “Walk This Way” helped to change an adolescent Ferentz from outcast to authority figure How Michael Jackson’s Thriller brought back a traumatic childhood experience How Kanye West’s “Jesus Walks” speaks to the tension between his Christian beliefs and his need to rip it up in clubs as a hip-hop head In the tradition of Nick Hornby’s Songbook¸ these words paint a portrait of a life framed by sounds, allowing all of us to think about what songs have been key in our own lives.
