Welcome to Litsy!

Lauded for her �astute and engrossing� (People) writing style imbued with �originality galore� (RT Book Reviews), Kim Wright channels the best of Jennifer Weiner and Sarah Pekkanen in this delightful novel of self-discovery on the open road as one woman sets out for Graceland hoping to answer the question: Is Elvis Presley her father? Blues musician Cory Ainsworth is barely scraping by after her mother�s death when she discovers a priceless piece of rock �n� roll memorabilia hidden away in a shed out back of the family�s coastal South Carolina home: Elvis Presley�s Stutz Blackhawk, its interior a time capsule of the singer�s last day on earth. A backup singer for the King, Cory�s mother Honey was at Graceland the day Elvis died. She quickly returned home to Beaufort and married her high school sweetheart. Yearning to uncover the secrets of her mother�s past�and possibly her own identity�Cory decides to drive the car back to Memphis and turn it over to Elvis�s estate, retracing the exact route her mother took thirty-seven years earlier. As she winds her way through the sprawling deep south with its quaint towns and long stretches of open road, the burning question in Cory�s mind�who is my father?�takes a backseat to the truth she learns about her complicated mother, the minister's daughter who spent a lifetime struggling to conceal the consequences of a single year of rebellion.
