The theme park, partly owned by and wholly named for Dolly Parton, celebrates a country music legend who grew up in church and in poverty in rural Tennessee. Yet Dollywood is exactly where Melnick?a poet, urbanite, and daughter of a middle-class Jewish family?needed to be. Because Melnick, like the musician she adores, is a survivor. In this bracing memoir, Melnick explores Parton?s dual identities as feminist icon and objectified sex symbol?identities that reflect the author?s own fraught history with rape culture and the grueling effort to reclaim her voice in the wake of loss and trauma. Each chapter engages with the artistry and cultural impact of one of Parton?s songs, as Melnick reckons with violence, creativity, parenting, abortion, sex work, love, and the consolations and cruelties of religion. Guided by Parton?s music, Melnick walks the slow path to recovery in the company of those who came before her and stand with her, as trauma is an experience both unique and universal. Candid and discerning, I?ve Had to Think Up a Way to Survive is at once a memoir and a love song?a story about one life and about an artist who has brought life to millions. 410 0$aAmerican Music 606 $aWomen country musicians$vBiography 606 $aWomen poets$vBiography 606 $aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / General$2bisacsh 610 $aDollywood, Dolly Parton, country music, women's trauma, addiction, rape culture, intimate partner violence, sex work, trauma recovery, pop culture, domestic violence, poetry, poet, sexual assault, memoir writing, reproductive rights, feminist media, country music performers, women in country music, women in music, abortion, recovery, music memoirs, music memoir, Jewish writers, Jewish literature, playlist, friendship, parenting, women?s voices. 615 0$aWomen country musicians 615 0$aWomen poets 615 7$aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / General. 676 $a811.6 700 $aMelnick$b Lynn, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01741466 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910861966503321 996 $aI've Had to Think Up a Way to Survive$94167498 997 $aUNINA
