The journey of a thousand miles begins with sequins and a beehive wig in this sharply funny and achingly tender debut novel about mothers, daughters, and the surprising power of Elvis. Grace Johnson can’t escape the feeling that her life is on autopilot—until her husband announces he’s done with their marriage. Grace has a choice: wallow in humiliation . . . or reluctantly grant her outlandish mother’s seventieth birthday wish with a road trip Graceland. Buckle up, Elvis. We’re on our way. Now the two are hightailing it from El Paso to Memphis, leaving a trail of sequins, false eyelashes, and difficult memories in their wake. Between spontaneous roadside stops to psychics, wig mishaps, and familiar passive-aggressive zingers, Grace is starting to better understand her Elvis-obsessed mama and their own fragile connection. She may even have another shot at love. Apparently the King really does work in mysterious ways. But after all these years, will it ever be possible for Grace and her mom to heal the hurts of the past?

A Thousand Miles to Graceland is a lovely novel about a relationship between a mother and daughter, and the often complex layers of that relationship. Through humor and tenderness, the author takes you on a road trip with Loralynn and Grace as they set off on an adventure to Graceland...which is more than just a cross country road trip. It is a deeper exploration into the strings that tie a mother and daughter together, even when they both think they may be too broken to repair. It's an easy read, that makes you laugh and cry, and contemplate your own relationships and if they really are what you think they are. Highly recommend.

Beautiful story. [PDF] Downloads A Thousand Miles to Graceland A Thousand Miles to Graceland captures Grace leaving her failing marriage as she is consumed by her work as an accountant in Boston as well as consumed by her guilt for avoiding her mom and hometown in Texas. She reluctantly decides she needs a change of pace and agrees to chauffeur her Chinese American mother, Loralynn for her 70th birthday on the road trip of a lifetime to Graceland. Her mother is an over-the-top fan of all things ELVIS and has planned their trip down to every stop and detour to experience where Elvis grew up, ate and lived and as both women learn about Elvis, they learn and grow emotionally, better understanding themselves and strengthening their relationship to each other. Along the way, there is hilarity, heartache and hope. Old friendships are rekindled and remembered, with possible romance blossoming too. I loved this book! Grace took a while to warm up to the trip, but once she did, she was ALL in! Loralynn was quite the character! The road trip brought Grace back to her roots, revealing why she was still dealing with anxiety and panic attacks as an adult and how her traumatic childhood formed her choices as an adult and now that she was aware, what changes would she make after the trip for her future? The writing often had over-the-top similes and metaphors, however since the trip and Loralynn were also over-the-top, it worked in this book, however if the author uses that same style in another book, it may not add to the story but be distracting. The book has a wonderfully satisfactory ending with some hints toward their positive futures. The only part of the story that I wish the author had been more authentic about is when discussing fertility, the story should acknowledge reality--that women older than 43 generally have an extremely low chance of success with IVF (7% which goes down steeply closer to 45) unless they use donor eggs or they had previously frozen their eggs when they were younger. Being factual helps all women make informed choices, instead of movies, books and media reinforcing inaccurate information.
