Summary |
"It's the summer of 1978 and most people think Elvis Presley has been dead for a year. But eleven-year-old Truly knows Elvis is alive and well and living in her trailer park. It's a busy summer. Though Truly's mother is constantly drinking, smoking, and juggling new boyfriends, Truly is determined to raise money for herself through her lemonade stand, and to prove that her cool new neighbour is the King of Rock 'n' Roll. And when she can't find motherly support in her own home, she finds sanctuary with Andy El, the Salish woman who runs the trailer park."-- Provided by publisher. |
