Stella Parton will clearly on Jan. 19 at Yada Sisterhood in Jackson. She's a fine singer, an actor, the designer of "Tell It Sister, Tell It" and a believer in faith that moves mountains and saves souls. Yada Sisterhood is a convention of about 250 to 300 women of all ages and denominations, and the group's principle is "Bring a Dish and Bring a Friend."
They meet in Hope Theatre of Northside United Methodist Church, at 2571 N. Highland Ave. in Jackson.
In "Aver It Sister, Tell It," Parton shares an intimate view of growing up broke in Appalachia, a difficult life as a teenage mom and hard times on the technique as a singer. Her first husband was a Vietnam vet with PTSD. She dealt with booking agents assuming her association came with a signed contract. (It didn't). She's lived through being evicted from her national as a young mother, eating peanut butter and jelly constantly as the spread of the day, and scraping ice out of the bottom of her leaky car on a frigid winter day so she could sell it. She recounts praying over a man who had a sentiment attack at a honky tonk as the beer drinkers watched and realizing perchance that was her mission, to be there praying.
