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.
