The spirit of Elvis hovers over this powerful novel, the story of the indomitable Joyce (Rejoice) Jackson, keeper of the flame, a famous front porch shrine to Elvis. With the King's healing help, Joyce resists the forces that can break a woman's heart - the men in her life, the welfare system and poverty. Joyce's unsophisticated case worker, Miss Emily Shaw, plans to be a social worker only until her fiance finishes law school, but once assigned to Joyce Jackson's case, Emily's life revs up. And how. Entwined with Joyce's unique family, her two daughters, Priscilla and Lisa Marie, Emily finds herself propelled into the midst of a huge cast of exuberant characters, from Holy Rollers to rock 'n' rollers, from cops to robbers. Rejoice Jackson knows how to deal creatively with those institutions where society tosses its castoffs, the county hospital, the county jail, the welfare rolls, and garage sales.

Another Fun Read

Reviewed in the United States on 13 April 2014

Verified Purchase

I have quite an extensive collection of books about Evis and am thrilled to find so many of Amazon. Most i have found leave the reader with positive good thoughts about Elvis. All have something different and, in my opinion, are well worth the purchase. Apparently there has been an on-going debate about whether Elvis died when the elaborate funeral was aired on TV. It is because of this I wrote a book, a couple of years ago, about my close encounter with him in the early morning of March 12, 1988; many years after it was reported he had died. It was a humongous shock for me and I finally decided to write it for my grandchildren. As well as the book I put it on guitar thumb drives for them. The Title is, 'Don't Cry Darlin' which is what he said to me. He looked just like the Elvis we all saw on TV and still had the beautiful clear blue eyes. He had won his fight with his weight and it was clear he did not have a drug problem....if he ever did. In any case, it is a fun read.
