Award-winning songwriter Linda Thompson breaks her silence, sharing
the extraordinary story of her life, career, and epic romances with
two of the most celebrated, yet enigmatic, modern American
superstars-Elvis Presley and Bruce Jenner For the last forty years,
award-winning songwriter Linda Thompson has quietly led one of the
most remarkable lives in show business. 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. Now, for the first time, Linda opens up about it all,
telling the full story of her life, loves, and everything in
between. 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 and sustained Graceland's greatest romance. Going inside
their wild stories and tender moments, she paints a portrait of
life with the King, as raucous as it is refreshing. But despite the
joy they shared, life with Elvis also had darkness, and her account
also presents an unsparing look at Elvis's twin demons-drug abuse
and infidelity-forces he battled throughout their time together
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 seemingly 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 Linda herself kept for nearly thirty years, a
secret that Bruce's transition to Caitlyn Jenner has finally laid
bare for the world. Providing a candid look inside one of the most
challenging moments of her life, Linda uncovers the struggles she
went through as a woman and a mother, coming to terms with the
reality of Bruce's identity and resolving to embrace him completely
no matter what, even as it meant they could no longer be together.
And yet, despite her marriage unraveling, her search for love was
not over, eventually leading her to the legendary music producer
and musician David Foster-a relationship that lasted for nineteen
tumultuous years, resulting in a bond that spurred her songwriting
career to new heights but also tested her like never before. Filled
with compelling and poignant stories and sixteen pages of
photographs, A Little Thing Called Life lovingly recounts Linda's
incredible journey through the years, bringing unparalleled insight
into three legendary figures.
