“DADDY’S GIRL” is not sugar coated or view through rose colored glasses, but rather an honest, uncensored view into Dottie Lou’s life describing:
Dottie Lou may shock you at times! At times you will love her, at times you may even hate her, but there will never be a time you won’t be moved by the ups and downs of her life as you share her experiences----some of the innermost secrets of her soul. You will laugh and you will cry as you dwell on the compulsive, obsessive love for music, the heritage of every musician who makes music their life. And this is just The First Note, the beginning of her auto-biography, the story of poverty, incest and the love of music, bridled by the overpowering control of the Stockholm Syndrome. |  Format: Perfect Bound Softcover Pages: 280 Size: 5x8 ISBN: 9781418484033 Price: $15 + SH |
| Dottie Lou in her SECOND Note in the life of a Northland Musician reveals an emotional, incomprehensible reality, when her music career clashes with Marriage. She discloses how perpetually they fail to compliment each other. She embraces intrigue and indepth into the infectious temptations, the ultimate pitfalls, but not without abundant humor, the many nonsensical days of Wine and Roses that permeates the behind the Limelight scenes of the entertainment world, blending the silly with the serious. Tender sentiments and the sometimes risque glow of passion jump from the provocative pages of penned relationships. And from her pen emerges, with poignant concern, the traumatic anguish of her children as they cope with the unexpected death of a parent. |
Many changes occur as Dottie, after six years single, tries to adjust to sharing a life with an over-achieving, not so faithful spouse. Except for a Minneapolis 8-track recording endeavor and a weekly guest shot on a local TV show, (Arrowhead Country), it seems Dottie's career is in a slump, placed on a back burner. The new marriage pressures many new demands flooding the scenario. Precious time is diverted to family, taking the spotlight away from music. Teen-age undisciplined upheavals arise, as do snowmobiling excursions, camping trysts, race-track diversions, putting stress on limited time slots. A Paris, France adventure, with a brief appearance in a French Band revitalized Dottie's passion for her career and she returns with renewed passion for life, but less for marriage. Priorly, in her adamant testimony of her moralizing, self-righteous virtues, Dottie is now forced to EAT CROW as she joins the coterie of the "Angels Flying too Close to the Ground" at the Gopher 'Peyton Place! The Result?? An intriguing blurr on a downhill glide, in a new direction to infidility, Fervent, impetuous Passion and Euphoric Ecstasy! |  Format: Perfect Bound Softcover Pages: 452 Size: 6x9 ISBN: 9781452003795 Price: $20 + SH |
