For twenty years, pretty girl rushed into his arms, eager to serve the idol. However, in recent years Elvis was in a very delicate situation: the legendary lover became impotent.
Signs of degradation is most obviously manifested in the novel with Ginger Alden, 20-year-old wayward girl, whom he intended to marry. Elvis bought her a diamond ring in 11 carat, and kneeling, offered his hand and heart. Ginger took the ring, and then a luxury, "Cadillac", but refused to be with him everywhere.
Often, when Elvis was immersed under the influence of drugs in a heavy sleep, she went home instead of spending the night with him. She had no desire to leave his family and live with Presley before the marriage is concluded.
