Synopsis

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—as Elvis Presley’s fiancée and his last great love. 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.

Am I the only one who did NOT find Ginger & Elvis’ story sweet or romantic? Let’s get real here folks – how about creepy and sleazy? She was barely out of her teens and apparently incredibly naïve and this 42 year old guy who just happens to be unbelievably rich and famous swoops in and takes over h......more

Great book, could not put it down. I have all the books on Elvis and this one is by far one of the best. Ginger had a lot of class then and now.......more

Goodreads review by Melinda on December 20, 2014

This feels like a highly sanitised version of Gingers life with Elvis. It becomes highly repetitive, as she talks about how shy she is, how generous Elvis was, how unsure she was of how to speak to him regarding his substance abuse and erratic behaviour. I can't say that I was at all sympathetic towa......more

Sweet, Sad, Weird Ginger Alden was engaged to marry Elvis before he tragically passed away. She tells her story of their brief time together with a lot of grace, dignity, and even humor. Elvis comes across as a lonely man in many respects and quite a reckless one at times. Lamar Fike, one of Elvis’s......more
