Really nice article. Thanks for sharing.
But I really have to question the author of the article in saying that there is a lot about the Pickler family that the local people don't like to talk about, like her mother abandoning Kellie when Kellie was two years old.
Like, did Kellie do something at the age of two to get her mom to leave? Shheeesh! She must have been some unusual two year old!
Seriously, I say more power to her for having overcome her background and gotten this far.
Obviously, this lil ol country gal has a pair of glass slippers she's hiding someplace.
