ing Your Life, LaDonna shares her personal story in a very transparent (often hilarious!) way to craft an uplifting message. This you-can-do-it guide offers practical, emotional,
and spiritual insights gleaned from her experiences as part of a famous musical family and as a woman whose faith compelled her to walk away from untold riches and fame to “sing a different song” apart from her brothers, country music’s legendary Gatlin Brothers. With a fi nely tuned voice, sharp wit, and engaging
communication style crafted over a lifetime of perform- ing, LaDonna ignites audiences to boldly discover their passion, connect with their voice, and embrace a life of purpose and meaning.
