Last Ride to Graceland by Kim Wright
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars. First off I’d like to thank Netgallery for allowing me to read this book and this is my honest review. This little book is a gem! The Last Ride to Graceland will warm your heart, your soul, and your mind.

Cory Ainsworth mother, Honey was a backup singer for The King, Elvis Presley, and was present on the day Elvis passed away. A year after Honey passes away, Cory discovers a 1973 Stutz Blackhawk in mint condition stored in the garage. This leads Cory to figure out that her biological father isn’t really her father; after all she was told that she was a nine pound premature baby. Cory decides, she will return the car to Elvis’s estate, but she would travel the route that her mother took 37 years ago, with hope of finding out the true identity of her father really is. This is a wonderful mother-daughter relationship. Cory discovers that she and her mother Honey aren’t really as different as she thought they were.

Not only do we learn about Cory and her life and decisions that she herself has made, but we also get to go into the past and meet Honey as a young woman, and how singing backup for Elvis in his last year, changed her forever.

This was a fun, easy, quick pace book to read; that I’m sure will appeal to all ages of women. But I think it will appeal to older women that have gone through many ups and downs, and dealt with what life threw at them. It will appeal to all women who are reflecting on their past and are at a crossroads in their lives. This book is compelling, touching, an emotional journey, that readers will connect with and relate to. You’ll find yourself laughing, crying, and get that warm fuzzy feeling in your heart.
