Book summaryIn 1955, Achsa J. McEachern is a bright 14-year-old girl with a harelip, and when she hears a song by a singer named Elvis Presley on her local radio station, she just has to write him a fan letter. It's early in Elvis's career, and he writes back. For over a year, the two correspond on a regular basis, telling each other their hopes and fears, and the secrets of their lives--Achsa's worries about her appearance and her battling parents, Elvis's wonderment at his growing celebrity. Media reviews"A touching coming-of-age tale, deepened rather than cheapened by the heroine's connection to the King." |
