Synopsis: 

Hazel Lindsey, a Tennessee plowgirl who survived poverty, abuse, and eleven husbands, had only one year of formal education, but through determination, hard work, and keen intelligence she forged a remarkable life. As a young girl, she plowed a mule and cut timber like a man, and she even built a house for her mother and siblings. As an adult she owned her own restaurant, ran an upholstery shop, played guitar, sang, and buck-danced at country jubilees, and owned a huge flea market complex outside of Sweetwater, Tennessee. She even had a small role in the film, OCTOBER SKY.
