Dolly Parton, A Woman Unto Herself (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last night I sat up far too late watching clips.One clip led to another the way they do, and at some point I noticed I had been in the same position for over an hour, my tea gone cold beside me.

A client, asking to move her session to another time. An ordinary request. And my default, thirty years deep, was already forming the word before I had even finished reading. Yes. Of course.
