Product 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.

Best Elvis Book Ever
This is the best Elvis book I have ever read and I have read many.most Elvis books have a small mention of Elvis's grandmother and his aunt Delta but Nancy tells us a lot about these two strong women. I really liked learning more about them also Nancy goes into great detail about Elvis and his last days. I also enjoyed the stories about the strange things that went on in Graceland after Elvis died. Nancy also mentions Lisa's marriages. and tells us a little about that this is just a very very interesting book on Elvis as well as the Presley family. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could!

A great read...hard to put down!
Unlike many other books on Elvis, this one seems very genuine and authentic with no agenda other than to share memories of life Inside Graceland. Rather than a slick, professionally written biography, the style of writing feels as if you were sitting down over a cup of coffee with Nancy as she remembers the years she spent working in Graceland - unstructured and unpolished....just as thoughts pop into her head. There are many interesting little tidbits and details she offers that really humanize Elvis and bring him to life as a real person instead of a celebrity. The personalities and interaction of all members of the family really come out. A pure joy to read - thanks Nancy!

Great Book-Nancy A True Friend
This is one of the best books I have ever read about Elvis, and I have read a lot of them. Nancy was not only Elvis' maid, but also a true friend. It is so refreshing to read the good things about Elvis. Thank you Nancy for such a great book.
