The myth-shattering account of the most famous-and most taboo-marriage in rock-and-roll history

"Fascinating . . . Finstad's research and her analysis of Priscilla's complex character make for a riveting read."-New York Post

The real story [of Elvis and Priscilla] is infinitely more powerful than the myth and, ultimately, tragic; the true Priscilla more complex. Priscilla Beaulieu Presley is not, and never was, the fragile, demure child-woman she has come to personify; she is, in a word, a survivor, a woman of indomitable will and almost frightening determination.-from the Author's Note

Child Bride reveals the hidden story of rock icon Elvis Presley's affair with fourteen-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu, the ninth-grader he wooed as a G.I. in Germany and cloistered at Graceland before marrying her to fulfill a promise to her starstruck parents. But who is Priscilla-and what was her role in their infamous relationship?

Award-winning biographer Suzanne Finstad perceptively pieces together the clues from candid interviews with all the Presley intimates-including Priscilla herself, along with hundreds of sources who have never before spoken publicly-to uncover the truth behind the legend of Elvis and Priscilla, a tumultuous tale of sexual attraction and obsession, heartbreak and loss.

Child Bride, the definitive biography of Priscilla Beaulieu Presley, unveils the controversial woman who evolved from a lonely teenager bound to the King of Rock and Roll into a shrewd businesswoman in control of the multimillion-dollar Elvis Presley empire-a rags-to-riches saga of secrets, lies and betrayal.
