Destined to Give–The Legendary Generosity of Elvis Presley examines the evolution of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s benevolent giving and the purpose he found by sharing much of his wealth with others. Hoedel explores the roots of that generosity, which was a learned behavior when he was on the receiving end during those early years of poverty in Tupelo. It was there that he witnessed a natural sense of giving rooted in survival. Fame allowed Elvis Presley to be generous in ways he never could have imagined. However, trust became hard to come by for Elvis.
