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.

insightful
i am very much a hard-core Elvis fan, and this book was at times, a very difficult read (much the same as priscilla's book).
I think we sometimes forget, Elvis was very much a human being who was flawed, jealous, sad as well as being amazing, beautiful and kind.
The book shows a different side to Elvis than Priscilla's, and I enjoyed it. Its nice being able to get somewhat close to Elvis through the eyes of those who loved him.
I must say, toward the end of the book I did feel really sorry for Ginger, and if what she says is true, it's a real shame she had nothing to do with anything Elvis after his death.
I'd definitely recommend reading if you love Elvis and want an insight to his final year.

Intimate insight from the "outsider"
Ginger writes with such emotion in her recount of the final months of Elvis Presley's life. Showing not only the overly generous nature of Elvis but also the drug inflicted turns of his hectic and over crowded schedule. Thankfully the good (In terms of story recollection) outweighs the bad and the last year of Elvis's life is one of fondness. Ginger shows the love, talent, generosity and the lost soul Elvis became in searching for who he was and some of the behaviours when it came to certain members of his entourage.
Great read!

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.
