In 1952, seventeen-year-old Ashley Manes leaves Knoxville, Tennessee, after graduating high school to begin a new life in Memphis with her best friend, Brittney Green. While Brittney pursues her dream of becoming a nurse, Ashley enrolls in fashion design classes and takes a job at a local diner, hoping that one day women across America will wear her creations.
Everything changes the day she meets a shy young truck driver with a guitar and an impossible dream.
His name is Elvis Presley.
Long before the screaming fans, sold-out concerts, and the world crowned him The King of Rock and Roll, Elvis is simply a young man chasing a future that feels just out of reach. As Ashley and Elvis grow closer through late-night conversations, Beale Street adventures, and shared dreams, friendship slowly blossoms into a love neither of them ever expected.
But dreams come with a price.
As Elvis's music career begins to take flight and Ashley fights to make a name for herself as a fashion designer, they soon discover that fame, heartbreak, and destiny may pull them in different directions.
Can the love they found before the spotlight survive after the whole world falls in love with him?
The King's Girl is a heartfelt coming-of-age romance filled with 1950s nostalgia, Southern charm, unforgettable friendships, diner nights, timeless fashion, music, first love, and the bittersweet journey of two young dreamers determined to follow their hearts-no matter where the road leads.
