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.

  • Terrible book

    This book is pathetic. In the first half you realize this 20 year old spent less than a month with Elvis and got 4 rings, 2 necklaces and two cars. Then he bought cars for her family, mink coats. Rings etc. basically the entire book is about all the expensive gifts she got basically because Elvis was in a decline and thought Ginger looked like his mother and Priscilla and he could reclaim his past. She was a user and played dumb. First book about Elvis that actually made me angry.

  • REVIEW FOR ELVIS AND GINGER

    Thought the first half was written quite eloquently. The 2nd half was extremely graphic, especially his death scene. May be some animosity regarding the Presley estate never paying off Mrs. Alden (Ginger's Mother) home mortgage loan. Book states it was a verbal promise/agreement between Mrs. Alden, Ginger, and Elvis. However, nothing was legally documented. Elvis lived his life as a great humanitarian, and was a dynamic entertainer. Book is based upon here-say.

  • On target

    Elvis was surrounded by many people during his lifetime - each with there own perspective. Ginger's perspective is another insight into Elvis and is a piece of the puzzle when put with the other pieces makes the puzzle whole. Her view is valid, too.
