Elvis and Me: The True Story of the Love Between Priscilla Presley and the King of Rock N' Roll
by Priscilla Beaulieu Presley
Everyone knows about Rock'n'Roll Superstar Elvis Presley. The rise to fame, the voice, the gyrating, the sideburns, and of course all things Las Vegas. But most don't know about his personal struggles with substances, sense of self, a search for enlightenment, bouts of loneliness and depression, and struggles with infidelity. His wife of 6 years and longtime love, Priscilla Beaulieu Presley, shares all of that and more. Her perspective is unique having shared a life and a bedroom with The King for many years. She was just 14 when they met and literally grew up with Elvis by her side, and she takes us along for the ride.
This book was written in 1985, but just recently became an audiobook. My current favorite genre is "autobiographies read by the author" and this did not disappoint. Priscilla's reading of the book is delightful. She is endearing and sweet while still being honest and direct about the ups and the downs. Because the book was written more than 30 years ago, I felt as if I were reminiscing right along with her as she re-read her old words. She giggles at old memories often and you feel as though you're enjoying a hot beverage by the fire as she tells her stories of her youth.
