Dolly Parton’s life was filled with music, stories, laughter, and an unmistakable kindness that touched generations. From her Appalachian roots to her remarkable career, she had a gift for making people feel seen and reminding us to dream a little bigger.

Her love of books and literacy was just as meaningful as her music. Through her Imagination Library, Dolly helped put books into the hands of millions of children around the world.

In remembrance of Dolly, we’re featuring a few of the books about her and her extraordinary life that we have here at Dogwood Books.

This week’s recommendation at Dogwood Books is Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton.

In Orthodoxy, Chesterton reflects on Christian faith and theology with a thoughtful mix of reason, imagination, and humor. It is a deeply personal exploration of what he believes and why, making it a memorable read for anyone interested in faith, philosophy, or the Christian life. And, If you love C.S. Lewis, Chesterton is a wonderful writer to pick up as he deeply influenced Lewis in his conversion to the faith.
