I never knew much about him until I was older and became a fan of the man himself. I had heard of his "bizarre" close relationship with his mother and so searched for a book about him and his mother Gladys. I found this book and was drawn into it. I felt like I was there with Elaine Dundy; the author; researching and speaking to Elvis relatives to get a better look at his life and the ancestry before him. I learned his mother (and thus Elvis) were part Native American; which I thought was cool. It just was of the facts about his family I had not expected to find. I loved learning of the life his parents had before Elvis and then after Elvis and I was so amazed at the interest he had in music at so early an age. It was great to see where he came from and to watch him grow while reading this book. So far; this has to be my favorite Elvis book and I have many on my shelf!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Moma Dont Want You To Fly!By DahmiaA timely story that needed to be told about the deep abidding love Elvis and his mother Bladys had for each other. Some thought she was overly protective of him because his first born twin brother had died. Some thought Elvis was controlled by her fears for his safety and for that reason he didnt fly for many years - always took a train or bus if they couldnt take a car.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. The best yetBy elvisfan12I grew up poor (though not as poor as the Presleys). There were 6 people living in a 2-bedroom home. That Elvis slept with his parents (it gets cold in northern Mississippi and Tennessee) doesnt really shock or surprise me.What does surprise me is that someone like Dee Stanley; who put her own sons in foster care so she could pursue Vernon Presley; would condemn them.I am also not surprised that Elvis was never able to form a long-lasting relationship with a woman. Most of the women I have read about seemed only interested in what they could get from him. not what they could give to him; a total contrast to his Mother.I thought Elaine Dundy did a masterful research job. Too bad the history books kids use in school dont usually match this level of research and dedication to facts.This book is not just about Elvis; it is about poverty and how it shapes people and stays with them throughout their lives.Buy this book; you will treasure it.
