Elvis and Me: The True Story of the Love Between Priscilla Presley and the King of Rock N' Roll by Priscilla Presley
4.0
“He was to become the passion of my life.”
I can’t say enough about this book. Priscilla tells a story not about Elvis Presley, but about two people who loved each other the only way they knew how.
Unfortunately for both of them, Elvis was broken and was never able to find a healthy medium of showing his love and Priscilla threw herself mercilessly into loving him in every way she knew how. She fought for the love she wanted and realized along the way who she was.
“My world consisted solely of him.”
There is so much truth in the way Priscilla details how Elvis secluded her and kept her entirely to himself, not realizing how that was affecting her emotionally, but she was able to reach him deeper than anyone in his life at the time. She threw his a lifeline that he was so obviously searching for after his mother passed. A security in a constant presence that she was more than willing to provide because she loved him so deeply.
“This was my one great love.”
After all was said and done, she cherished even the bad times and honestly reflected on their unorthodox relationship and was able to really enjoy the world she created that centered around him and found a way to appreciate the man who he really was and become the best version of herself in the process.
