In the next four years, she composed and sang her way to five more No. 1 C&W hits, three gold LPs, and a shelf-load of awards. - People Donna Fargo is the lady at the garden party who is looking at the flowers in the garden.

this book is great. I learned a lot of things, it served as an eye opener for me, it comforted me to the point that it made me cry. but the ultimate thing ive learned from this is i should never give up no matter what. no matter what and how many hurdles life has to offer you, you rest but never give up you stand back up. my 3 core values are: kindness, humbleness and perseverance. this book made me value my life more and be grateful for all that ive done, and to not be too hard on myself—reminding me of why i keep going and what are my 3 core values
