"Elvis, you and I know the truth and unfortunately you’re not here to set the record straight. With this book, I will try to.…"
Elvis Presley and Graceland were fixtures in the life of Ginger Alden, having been born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. But she had no idea that she would play a part in that enduring legacy - as Elvis Presley’s fiancée, and his last great love. For over three decades Ginger has held the truth of their relationship close to her heart. Now she shares her unique story, and while a lot has been written about the King, the Elvis we meet in this long-anticipated memoir is a revelation.
In her own words Ginger details their whirlwind romance - from first kiss to his stunning proposal of marriage. She details 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 first time she talks about the devastating end of it all, and the 50,000 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, Alden 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 enduring myth, a superstar worshipped by millions, and loved by Ginger Alden.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Let me just start by saying this would not be my typical pick for an audio book. I am a Carpenter who listens to MANY audiobooks a year and this is my first review ever. This was one of the best I have ever heard because it had all the elements of a great story. I found myself putting in a bit of overtime the day I listened because I just wanted to hear what happened next. I also appreciated that Ginger actually did the narration and I found her voice engaging and soothing. I am a fan of Elvis's but I'm not fan boy. I have listened to another Elvis bio but this one was far better because of a real human element in the story telling. Common sense will tell you she is absolutely believable and she claims nothing sensational or unbelievable. Great Book!!!A great story told by unassuming lady.

Alden comes across as a sweet, pliable southern lady with a backbone. What it must have taken to stand up to Elvis in any way. This dovetails with other accounts out there that confirm Elvis’s frustration at finding himself with a person he could not control fully. I think it woke him up a bit and helped him to enjoy a new experience after being surrounded by drooling, knuckle dragging sycophants for so long.
Reading the accounts of some of the men surrounding Elvis that paint Alden as a cold fish or a gold digger clearly come from a place of misogyny and jealousy at the fortitude Alden displayed at not giving into his every whim.
As a lifelong Elvis fan, my heart goes out to her but also sparks joy at knowing he was in fine company with Ginger at the end.
Great look into a complicated life
