#3: Dolly Parton — “Coat of Many Colors” (1971)
Dolly Parton details her upbringing in Appalachian poverty, focusing on a jacket her mother, Avie Lee Parton, hand-stitched from discarded rags while recounting the biblical story of Joseph. Parton’s vivid storytelling transforms a tale of childhood embarrassment into a profound tribute to maternal resourcefulness, proving that true wealth is measured by a mother’s love rather than material possessions.
