A note from CNN's Jake Tapper: When I started this project, I didn't expect a Dolly Parton and James Patterson collaboration to be part of our premiere. The country music icon is known for her incredible songwriting, with a roster that includes timeless hits like"Jolene,""Light of a Clear Blue Morning" and"I Will Always Love You."
In the literary world, she's not only written a fantastic memoir I highly recommend -- "Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics" -- she's made her mark with her non-profit organization that sends hundreds of millions of books to children in rural and impoverished communities around the world. Parton hadn't dabbled in fiction, however, until she got a call from one of the most popular best-selling authors in the world, James Patterson.
