The Year The Music Changed

Watching Elvis perform in Atlanta in 1956 inspired Diane Coulter Thomas to write a novel called "The Year The Music Changed". It's a coming-of-age story set in 1955 and told as a year-long correspondence between Elvis and a 14-year-old girl. The book will be published September 1, 2005 by The Toby Press. Publisher's Weekly calls it "a warm, lively and immensely readable novel that will especially touch fans of "the King."
