"Songwriter Linda Thompson shares the story of her life, career, and epic romances with two of the most celebrated American superstars - Elvis Presley and Bruce Jenner. The longtime live-in love of Elvis Presley, Linda first emerged into the limelight during the 1970s when the former beauty pageant queen caught the eye of the King. Their chance late-night encounter at a movie theater was the stuff of legend, and it marked the beginning of a whirlwind that would stretch across decades, leading to a marriage with Bruce Jenner, motherhood, and more drama than she ever could have imagined. From her humble beginnings in Memphis to her nearly five year relationship with Elvis, she offers an intimate window into their life together, describing how their Southern roots fueled their romance. She paints a portrait of life with the King, as raucous as it is refreshing. But life with Elvis also had darkness, and she presents an unsparing look at Elvis's twin demons - drug abuse and infidelity - forces that would eventually end their relationship just eight months before his untimely death. It was in the difficult aftermath of Elvis's death that Linda found what she believed was her true home: the arms of Olympic gold medal-winner Bruce Jenner. Detailing her marriage to Bruce, Linda reveals the apparently perfect life that they built with their two young sons - Brandon and Brody - before Bruce changed everything with a secret he'd been carrying his entire life, a secret that Bruce's transition to Caitlyn Jenner has finally laid bare for the world. Linda Diane Thompson (born in 1950) is an American songwriter/lyricist, and former actress and beauty pageant winner. She was married to then Olympic decathlon champion Bruce Jenner (now known as Caitlyn Jenner), and later married David Foster, musician, record producer, composer, songwriter, and arranger. They divorced in 2005"--Provided by publisher.
