Synopses & Reviews
"White trash" was what they called him-because he wore hand-me-down overalls and lived on the wrong side of the tracks over near Shake Rag. But when his mama bought him a guitar, and he discovered "good news" gospel music, his life changed-and his dream of musical stardom became his life. This story, based on the childhood of Elvis Presley, is as unforgettable as his songs.
"The quality of storytelling is remarkable; readers will feel that the author is speaking over their shoulders as she tells them of a special friend . . . Cooper is at his brilliant best."
