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 motherโs death when she discovers a priceless piece of rock โnโ roll memorabilia hidden away in a shed out back of the familyโs coastal South Carolina home: Elvis Presleyโs Stutz Blackhawk, its interior a time capsule of the singerโs last day on earth. A backup singer for the King, Coryโs 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 motherโs pastโand possibly her own identityโCory decides to drive the car back to Memphis and turn it over to Elvisโs 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 Coryโs mindโwho is my father?โtakes 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.
