Summary
Dream big--and mighty forces will come to your aid. this has worked so many times in people's lives that it has almost become a spiritual law. But big dreams can also become bad dreams. That's what happened to Jeannie C. Riley. In From Harper Valley to the Mountaintop Jeannie tells the heart wrenching, poignant story of a huge dream by a teenager from a small Texas town, how it came true, and how it nearly destroyed the lives of three people. Jeannie's dream focused on Nashville, Tennessee, the center of country music, home of Grand Ole Opry, the place of hit records and star singers, Jeannie fantasized about a life in Nashville that would bring her fame, fortune and true love. The first two came true through the smash success of Harper Valley P.T.A., one of the most successful songs ever to come out of Nashville. But real love eluded Jeannie until she learned that love is not giddy feelings and euphoric happiness, love is something you do. With this discovery the journey from Harper Valley P.T.A. continues to the mountaintop via a tender and unforgettable love story.
