Well I had to revise my opinion of her going on this book and her life since.
Not sure he was going to marry her but she is not whats been painted by the MM either and she does explain it in this book and on her facebook. And she did make a successful marriage later so was more family minded that most, which is what Elvis seemed to be looking for.
Book was ok.
she never loved him
Elvis appears to have been a recluse like Howard Hughes, spending most of his time in his bedroom surrounded by "yes men" even when traveling to a new locale such as Vegas or Hawaii, he would rather stay in his room in his pajamas reading numerology books rather than see the sights.
Given the short time she knew Elvis (8 months total) and the fact they had little to nothing in common, as you can clearly see reading this book (she just did whatever he wanted for the most part). I'd say she was more in love with his fame and the expensive gifts he showered on her and her family more so than Elvis the man.
when elvis met ginger his health was so bad he was basically impotent.she did not have sex with elvis but she was there and did see things.
