Description

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Elvis Presley’s fiancée and last love tells her story and sets the record straight in this deeply personal memoir that reveals what really happened in the final years of the King of Rock n' Roll.

Elvis Presley and Graceland were fixtures in Ginger Alden’s life; after all, she was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. But she had no idea that she would play a part in that enduring legacy. For more than three decades Ginger has held the truth of their relationship close to her heart. Now she shares her unique story…

In her own words, Ginger details their whirlwind romance—from first kiss to his stunning proposal of marriage. And for the very first time, she talks about the devastating end of it all and the fifty thousand 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 it all, Ginger 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. From a unique and intimate perspective, she reveals the man—complicated, romantic, fallible, and human—behind the myth, a superstar worshipped by millions and loved by Ginger Alden.

    A very non biased point of view by the author Ginger. We’ve heard everyone else’s prospective but, this one seems to be the most possible and accurate in my opinion. Very difficult to put this book down, I read it in just two days. Thank you Ginger for sharing your experience with Elvis and shedding light on things that have been left unmentioned. Highly recommend this book to anyone who is an Elvis fan. Very classy lady with tons of integrity and courage.

  • A wonderful love story

    Ginger sat in front of me in homeroom in 9th grade. She was so beautiful. She was shy and quiet. What a great book to share with the world the truth about the last year of Elvis’ life.

  • Great book

    This was a quick, easy read. Very simple and to the point. I think it was great to hear Gingers side of things in the whole mythology of Elvis. I couldn't imagine being 20 years old in the middle of all that! Not a masterpiece, but very poignant.

    Being as big of an Elvis fan as anyone could be since as far back as I could even remember, I consider this one of my favorite books I've read about Elvis. It gave me the feeling that I was right there experiencing all of the details that Ginger described of her time with Elvis. Most importantly, it really changed so many opinions that I incorrectly had and almost feel guilty for having about Ginger. So many exaggerations and untruths that I had heard for so many years by people close to Elvis made me only able to form the opinion I had. Now that I am able to hear Gingers side I truly believe in the saying "There's two sides to every story". I only wish Ginger wrote the book many years ago, I feel her reputation deserved to be what I now see her as, a young woman caught up in an unimaginable whirlwind love affair impossible for anyone to compare any of their own relationships to and handled it better than most, while at the same time being a loving fiancé to the most famous person in the world.

  • Amazing!
