Description
THE #1 BESTSELLING THRILLER FROM AMERICA'S MOST BELOVED SUPERSTAR AND THE WORLD'S BESTSELLING AUTHOR. COMING AS A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM REESE WITHERSPOON'S HELLO SUNSHINE.
A new singer arrives in Nashville. She calls herself AnnieLee Keyes, and she has more beauty, talent, and ambition than most -- and a dangerous past that she's running from. Her performance of original songs at open-mic night at the Cat's Paw Saloon downtown transfixes Ethan Blake, back-up musician for country star Ruthanna Ryder.
Ruthanna may have retired--for deeply personal reasons--but that doesn't mean she's stopped writing music. Every day, she records songs she'll never release. When Ruthanna hears AnnieLee sing, the legend decides to help the ingenue.
But a boost from a mega-star like Ruthanna may spotlight the talented newcomer's secret. Now AnnieLee may not live long enough to realise her dreams of stardom--or for the world to learn her true identity.
Run, Rose, Run is a thrilling read co-authored by James Patterson and Dolly Parton, skillfully weaving suspense and the dramatic world of aspiring musicians.
