Synopsis

You could say that fate placed Elvis Presley, the most famous GI in the army, in Germany, and that fate, too, played a role in Priscilla Beaulieu's family's transfer to that same country in that same year. But that's where fate leaves off and sheer resolve takes over, as a beautiful fourteen-year-old girl determines to meet the twenty-six-year-old King of Rock and Roll - and the rest is truly history. Child Bride is the never-before-told story of Elvis's love affair with Priscilla Beaulieu Presley, the only woman he ever married. For the first time, award-winning author and journalist Suzanne Finstad tells the intimate, behind-the-scenes story of Elvis and Priscilla's life together - a tumultuous, captivating tale of sexual attraction and obsession played out across two continents and two very different worlds. In Child Bride Finstad carefully maps the relationships and circumstances that shaped one of the most successful and powerful women of her generation - a woman who almost single-handedly took a six-million-dollar estate and turned it into a hundred-million-dollar enterprise.
