Description:
If you wanted a picture of the life of Elvis Presley, who better to paint it for you than someone who worked as his trusted cook and maid at Graceland? Someone whose daily tasks centered around keeping the 'King of Rock & Roll' happy, whose every move was designed to please the greatest music legend the entertainment world has ever known. Here is that picture, as painted by Nancy Rooks. Nancy worked for Elvis from 1967 until his untimely death in 1977. Read her stories of what those years were like, of what the routines were at Graceland, and what it meant to be close to Elvis and his family on a daily basis. Read the sad account of her rushing upstairs, after a frantic call from Ginger Alden, and finding him on the bathroom floor. This book presents that picture, one that every Elvis fan will want to see.

Just to let you know I was lucky enough to read the book already. I must say I enjoyed it very much. Nancy does a great job telling how it was inside Graceland. I have read many many Elvis books, this one has a lot of new informations. She talks a lot about Delta & Minnie May. Nancy will be in Memphis this August to personnaly sign the books.

I always loved Nancy's discreet comments on Elvis' life when (rarely) interviewed and I was surprised that no book had come out with it so far. I read a few pages of that book and although it doesn't really bring anything quite new to the fans her relationship to both Memphis and the King her witnessing the life in Graceland from 1967 on is very refreshing to read about and full of tenderness and humor. I can't wait to read the rest of it.
