RUN, ROSE, RUN

Dolly Parton James Patterson

From America's most beloved superstar and its greatest storyteller - a thriller about a young singer-songwriter on the rise and on the run, and determined to do whatever it takes to survive.

Every song tells a story.

She's a star on the rise, singing about the hard life behind her.

She's also on the run. Find a future, lose a past.

Nashville is where she's come to claim her destiny. It's also where the darkness she's fled might find her. And destroy her.

Run, Rose, Run is a novel glittering with danger and desire - a story that only America's #1 beloved entertainer and its #1 bestselling author could have created.

In February 2020, James Patterson flew to Nashville to visit Dolly Parton.
She was a fan of his "Alex Cross" thrillers, and he had a proposal for her: Would she work with him on a novel about an aspiring country singer who goes to Nashville to seek her fortune and escape her past? Parton loved the idea. Two days later, she sent Patterson notes on the plot - along with lyrics for seven new songs that she wrote, based on the story.

"She didn't want to get involved in something just to put her name on it. She really wanted to be involved," Patterson said in an interview on Wednesday. "She's not going to do something if she doesn't think she's going to do it well."

In March, Little, Brown plans to publish “Run, Rose, Run,” a collaboration between Patterson and Parton, in print, e-book and audio editions. The novel, about a young singer with a dark secret that inspires her music, draws on Parton's experiences in country music.

Parton will simultaneously release an album, also titled "Run, Rose, Run" featuring 12 new songs inspired by the novel. The songs are "based on the characters and situations in the book," Parton said in a news release, and the lyrics are threaded throughout the novel.
