When Dolly Parton and James Patterson come together to write a novel you might expect a country-western romp with a mysterious back story, and you wouldn’t be disappointed with Run Rose Run. Annie Lee Keys is running away from Louisiana like her hair’s on fire, and she is getting to Nashville by hook, crook or stolen 18 wheeler! Ethan Blake sees her singing for her supper in the Cat’s Paw Saloon and quickly tells his boss, Ruthanna Rider, a country star in her own right, to take a listen. Will Annie Lee rise in the music world fast enough to outrun what’s chasing her? You’ll have to read (or better yet, listen to Dolly herself on the audiobook!) this delightful story yourself. In the book, Ruthanna enjoys a Willamette Valley Rosé, and we decided to get in on that action. We are sipping a lovely 2021 Garageland Rosé, with scents of cranberry and strawberry pie. Both the wine and the book are suitable for a lovely day on the back porch.
