| Summary |
"Elvis Presley's fiancée and last love finally tells her story"--Subtitle on jacket. |
|
In her own words Ginger details their whirlwind romance--from first kiss to his proposal of marriage. She writes about his exploration of Eastern religions, his perception of being a "legend," his devotion to family and friends, and her attempt to know the insular group surrounding Elvis. And for the very time she talks about the devastating end, and the tens of thousands of mourners and reporters who descended on Graceland in 1977, exposing Ginger to the reality of living in the spotlight of a short yet immortal life. Above all, she rescues Elvis from the hearsay, rumors, and tabloid speculations of his final year by shedding a frank yet personal light on a very public legend. She reveals the man--complicated, romantic, fallible, and human--behind the myth, a superstar worshipped by millions, and loved by Ginger Alden.--From publisher description. |
