Summary
Before Graceland is the coming-of-age story of the most enduring pop-cultural icon of all time. Follow 11-year-old Elvis Presley through the highs of experiencing his first crush, getting his hands on his first guitar, and securing a spot to compete on Children's Day of the Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show. Follow him through the hardships of his birth home's foreclosure, his beloved mother's health problems, and his father's imprisonment. Book one of the Before Graceland trilogy frames the journey of the boy who would be king as never before. For before the jumpsuits...there were overalls. Before Graceland...there were tumbledown shacks. Before the songs could make him famous...one would make him believe. Even the heart gets a beat, only Elvis Presley's was set to music since childhood.
