I was maybe going to be ostracized for it, but I was at peace with that. I didn’t know to what kind of world I would be returning. I get over to Great Smoky Mountains National Park as often as I can I was there camping alone when the New York Times article came out. I host a picnic every Sunday for my biological and my chosen families I host a lot of dance parties. I meditate, read, work, watch Kentucky basketball, and spend time with my friends and with my folks. I have a very sweet, stable, and what one might call normal life there.

She grew up the daughter and sister of country music superstars, and found her own fame first as an actress, earning Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for her roles in projects like Ruby in Paradise, De-Lovely, and Missing, and later as an activist focused on human rights both in her home state of Tennessee and around the world.
