Publisher's Summary: “Take the backroads, not the highways,” Minnie Pearl often said—a sentiment that captures her life’s winding journey. Born Sarah Ophelia Colley in 1912, she grew up in Centerville, Tennessee. This small-town upbringing inspired her imagined hometown of Grinder’s Switch. Minnie Pearl’s break came in 1940 when she debuted on the Grand Ole Opry, which marked the beginning of a career that spanned more than fifty years. Garth Brooks remarked, “When she walked out, everybody waited for the ‘How-dee!’ It’s just two syllables, one word, but every time she said it—it felt like it was just for you.”
