Summary
"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.

Enlightening
What a truly inspirational book written by Ginger into the depths of her time with Elvis - both good and bad - which make for fascinating listening. The numerological & spiritual experiences have inspired my own lust for learning about numerology too! Overall a wonderful & truly emotional experience. This is not just a book, this is an emotional insight into Elvis’ most personal moments.

heartfelt and sincere memories
Ginger's story is a beautiful love letter to a man she fell in love with and a man who died too soon. I enjoyed listening to her telling her story. There have been many books written about Elvis this one seemed to me to be the truest of accounts of what happened.

Heartfelt.
I enjoyed Gingers story and memories. I couldn’t help but feel her pain in not meeting out those hopes and dreams with the man she loved. He shifted her universe and then to leave her so suddenly, just heartbreaking. I know Ginger is sometimes held to account for Elvis’s passing, but I feel in listening to her story it puts all which transpired in to context. Sad, poignant and a very good listen.

A must read for any Elvis fan
I’ve pondered over reading this book for some time, mainly as I was curious as to why a circle of people would simply turn their backs on someone who Elvis clearly loved and who plays such an important roll in his life story.
From reading this and other books it’s obvious that there was always a lot of jealousy surrounding Elvis, each of his inner circle describe him as their “best friend” and every girlfriend no matter how brief their fling called him “the love of their life”.
I’m not sure Elvis and Ginger would have lasted forever, as Elvis struggled to stay faithful to any woman, however I do believe that in that particular moment in time in his life, he really did love ginger and she him. It’s just heartbreaking to think a young innocent woman could be thrown to the lions like that by so many people, each doing so to line their own pockets .
Well done for keeping your self respect Ginger and for me this book answers a lot of questions and suspicions I had about several of Elvis “best friends. Your honesty shines through in your words lovely lady .
