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.

Gingers story is similar to Priscilla’s as far as how Elvis treated them. He was kind of controlling, had double standards, a bad temper (which he publicly admitted to) and was physically abusive when he couldn’t get his way. I’m very much interested in Elvis’ diet and his prescription drug use and this book covers a lot of that. Elvis’ eating habits were outrageous according to this book.. he was adding tons of salt to food that was probably already salty, complained about being overweight while eating ice cream, yet would get angry if anyone who wasn’t a Dr made suggestions to him. Elvis also seemed very romantic and generous and I’m sure being with him was like walking on eggshells. This book was a great read and I loved the stories on Lisa Marie. That is a horrible picture of Elvis on the cover of the book.
