A dramatization of the life of iconic country music singer Loretta Lynn. Born in Butcher's Holler, Kentucky, 
Lynn grew up desperately poor, and was married to Dolittle "Mooney" Lynn when she was just thirteen. By the 
time she was twenty, she had four children, and was singing on weekends at local honky-tonks. With her 
husband as her manager, Lynn became a recording artist at age twenty-five, and eventually a huge star. Her 
climb to fame and all that came with it are chronicled in the film.

==========

At only thirteen years of age, Loretta Webb marries Doolittle Lynn and is soon responsible for a sizeable 
family. Loretta appears destined to a life of homemaking, but Doolittle recognises his wife's musical talent, 
and buys her a guitar as an anniversary present one year. This gift sets Loretta Lynn on the gruelling, 
tumultuous path to country music greatness.
