Elvis, me, and the postcard winter / Leslie Gentile.
"The winter rains have come to the Eagle Shores Trailer Park on a Reserve on southern Vancouver Island in 1978. Abandoned by her mother last summer, twelve-year-old Truly has settled into her new life living with Andy El, the Salish Elder who runs the trailer park. Truly eagerly awaits the postcards she receives from the King of Rock 'n Roll, Elvis Presley, who now tours as an Elvis Impersonator. When he sends Truly a second-hand guitar as a Christmas gift, she learns to play and discovers that her growing love of music deepens her friendship with twins Agnes and Linda, Andy El's Granddaughters. Truly's new world is shattered with the unexpected return of her mother, Clarice, who wants another shot at being a good mom. Truly is now faced with deciding whether or not she can trust Clarice and must ultimately choose if she is willing to give up the peace and security of her comfortable life with Andy El and her new family to give Clarice a second chance"-- Provided by publisher.
