What a fun read this was! Quick summary-after her mother died a woman finds one of Elvis’ Stutz Blackhawk cars in their shed. Cory knew her mother had been a back up singer for Elvis and that she was born seven months after her mother arrived back home and married her high school sweetheart but was never given any other details. She decides to take the car back to Graceland following the same route her mother took when she left. Along the way Cory not only discovers who her biological father is but also about the extraordinary year her mother spent living in Graceland and nicknamed Honey by the King himself. This book is told in two different time periods as the author takes the reader on this journey of discovery. Along the way you get a glimpse of what it was like to live with Elvis during his last year alive. I enjoyed this book on many levels. It was easy to read. The author incorporated historical fact about Elvis in way that made you wonder what was factual and what was fictional. (No worries, she addresses this in the authors note) the story moved along and was interesting enough to keep me engaged.It made me want to read a biography about Elvis to learn more about him. And quite simply it was a fun read. I loved all the details about Elvis and the idea of “what if” when it comes to the fictional aspect. If you like a good story with a historical element, if you are an Elvis fan, or even if you are both, then this book is for you. Highly recommend .
