Welcome to Gallagher Road-an ordinary street in an extraordinary alternate reality where death holds no power, time is an endless gift, and country music legend Dolly Parton is alive forevermore.
In this comforting and conceptually daring novel, the kitchen table becomes a timeless sanctuary where icons drop their public personas to become ordinary. Surrounded by her sisters and her brothers David, Randy, Floyd, and Coy-siblings ordinary history took away-Dolly and her family show us that when you have forever, you can no longer use time as an excuse to postpone love.
Step inside a living living room of infinite, beautiful conversations:
- Country Royalty: Sit with Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood, Loretta Lynn, Crystal Gayle, and the Mandrell sisters as they pass around songs and redefine artistic longevity.
- The Broadcasting Table: Join an incredible media history seminar over lunch with Oprah Winfrey, puppeteer Shari Lewis, and Dolly as they share the secrets of broadcasting directly to a single human heart.
- Global Tapestries: Explore cross-continental identity with Olivia Newton-John and the Magnay family, tracing complex ancestral journeys from Ulster-Scots migrations to early Australian settlements.
- The Motorhome Library: Climb aboard Shari Lewis's mobile record vault to discover the philosophy of her mysterious black travel cassettes.
Richly framed around the fictional Pixar animated feature The Lantern and the Lark, this lyrical novel moves entirely away from grief and farewells. Instead, it delivers a powerful, uplifting message about family reconciliation and artistic evolution.
