A young widow, determined to fulfill her husband’s last request, hauls a three foot bust of Elvis strapped in the back seat of a vintage Cadillac from Texas to Memphis to return it to its rightful owner. The road trip with her eccentric aunt, who knew the King of Rock n’ Roll, and a temperamental teen, who’s hiding her pregnancy, hits roadblocks and detours as the three women uncover pieces of their own past along with the bust’s mysterious history. The discoveries change the course of their lives forever.

Winner of the National Readers’ Choice Award and Romance Writers of America’s Golden Heart Award, Leanna Ellis has written several novels.

— Kay James, Romance Reader at Heart

ELVIS TAKES A BACK SEAT is absolutely brilliantly written. Who knew that three women (and one man) could find themselves and each other on such an odd excursion, trying to find the real owner of a huge bust of Elvis? This book has everything a good read should have: some tears, a little witticism, meaningful connections, deeper self knowledge, a few good belly laughs, and hugs.
