This is not just another Elvis Presley biography. As the author Michael Freedland puts it Everyone knows Elvis, but not the way his close friends, employees and others who entered his life knew him. This is their story, told in their words. He interviews those who knew Elvis intimately, from the now elderly woman who was at school with him and whose parents foreclosed on the shack they rented to Elvis mother when his father was in jail, to the maid who prepared his peanut butter sandwiches and hamburgers and watched him line up the girls he wanted to take to his bed.
