<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The myth-shattering account of the most famous and most taboo love story in rock-and-roll history <p/><i>Child Bride</i> reveals the hidden story of rock icon Elvis Presley's love 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. 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 surprising truths behind the legend of Elvis and Priscilla, a tumultuous tale of sexual attraction and obsession, heartbreak and loss. <p/><i>Child Bride</i>, the only major biography of Priscilla Beaulieu Presley, unveils the controversial child-woman who evolved from a lonely and sexually precocious teenager kept by 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 and betrayals that began when Priscilla was only three years old.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Priscilla's secrets come rolling out in a juicy investigative bio . . . backed up by interviews with scores of sources." --<i>Entertainment Weekly</i> <p/>"[A] fascinating biography." --<i>New Orleans Times-Picayune </i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Suzanne Finstad is the award-winning author of the <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>Natasha: The Biography of Natalie Wood</i>, named the best film book of 2001 by the <i>San Francisco Chronicle</i>.
