All stories, good or bad, begin at the right place. In 1956, during an Elvis concert, a girl's proposal turns chaotic when three of her boyfriend's other lovers are also present. Amid the turmoil, she catches Elvis' eye, igniting a flame that sparks personal growth and intertwines their lives through struggles, happiness, unrequited love, and dependent bonds. Dive into a tale of navigating Elvis' dazzling fame, relentless criticism, and hidden secrets as Elvis and Rosalie's story unfolds. ___ «So, this girlfriend of yours, she pretty?» I asked, with a sly smile on my lips. Elvis grinned when asked about her beauty. «Very,» he said, beaming with something I could only imagine was love. Watching his emotions surface, I couldn't help but smile goofily in his direction. Love was far from my own mind, but I knew he had it. His eyes glistened as if he was imagining her right now. It was foolish, maybe, but several times this summer, I had told myself I would never have a boyfriend ever again. I didn't exactly want to die an old hag sharing the Virgin Mary's most known trait- -just somewhere close to it, maybe? ___ No matter your knowledge of Elvis Presley, you can open this book even if you heard his name just yesterday. Who he is, his life, and the historical events surrounding his time will gradually reveal themselves. Sit back and let yourself be transported into the world of the 1950s. Girl of Mine speaks of vital events from the past. It is essential to note that it is marked as mature. This is due to the themes included in the story, which involve se*ual assault, violence, substance use/abuse, mental health issues, and racism in the 1950s. The inclusion of these themes is to raise awareness of the past and be educational. Be aware, show progress, and improve one's mental health.
