Summary: A Strong Story By a Strong Woman
Comment: We all loved both the book and the movie "Coal Miner's Daughter." And now Loretta Lynn is back with "Still Woman Enough" to not only finish the story since the original book, but to complete and more accurately detail events from the earlier book. As expected, the vivid stories are told in Loretta's appealing brutal honesty, wit, detail, and charm. The biggest change between the two books is that as time and people have passed, Loretta can provide a different perspective on her life. You will openingly laugh at some of the tales. And you will be greatly sadden by the stories of abuse. We have all seen stories of Loretta in the tabloids for years, but nothing I've read in the tabloids is as shocking as what I found in the book. Several parts of this book must have been very difficult for Loretta to write, and I give her a lot of credit for having the guts to do so. Loretta also writes about several country music legends, personally I enjoyed reading about Conway Twitty and Tammy Wynette. All in all this book is fascinating and very satisfying. And, yes, she is still woman enough.

Summary: Loretta is pure Country
Comment: I really enjoyed this followup to Coal Miner's Daughter. What I like about Loretta is that what you see is what you get. She is honest and open and has had her share of heartache. I suspect that is why people can relate to her and her music.
I loved Loretta's stories about George Jones, Conway Twitty, and Patsy Cline.
The book is written as Loretta would speak it. (She talks about how her family could have used 'thurpy') It makes it easy to picture Lorette speaking the words of her story directly to you. I give this book 5 stars.

Summary: GREAT FOLLOW-UP BOOK
Comment: This is the most enigmatic book I've ever read. On one hand I found Loretta's trademark honesty and naivete to be refreshing. On the other I wondered how, even after she had become wealthy, she could stay with such an abusive man. Doolittle Lynn seemed to thrive on torturing Loretta with his hard drinking, pathological womanizing, and physical and mental abuse. Understandably his actions also damaged their kids and both of her sons replicated their father's destructive behavior into adulthood. Even so, this book doesn't delve much into the psychology of their problems and the reader is left wondering what complicated demons drove Doolittle to such bizarre behavior. Loretta simply says she loved her husband despite his faults, that she herself was not perfect, and that they had "history" which kept them together. Of course she knew little else since she had been married to him since the age of thirteen. Loretta touches briefly on her wonderful friendships with country music luminaries including Patsy Cline and Tammy Wynette. And she reminisces about her close relationship with her parents and siblings and growing up in Butcher Holler. Despite her many setbacks, this book is almost devoid of bitterness and Loretta comes off as valuing all of life's experiences, both good and bad. All in all a very good read.
