JUST BECAUSE I'M A WOMAN... Charlotte Connors' How Dolly Parton Saved My Life is lit for the ladies

You don't need to like country music to enjoy How Dolly Parton Saved My Life, Charlotte Connors' Southern-fried tale of four women who launch an Atlanta catering biz. And you don't need to go to church (if faith talk makes you nervous, wait for the nods to Gilmore Girls and The Office). But you might need a Y chromosome. Connors' approach to women's issues is hopeful but not sugarcoated. B+
