“Eternal Flame” by Patricia Garber
Review by Sonya Snyder

A Fantastic Journey For Those Who Love Elvis “After having listened to the records, watched him glide across all those movies, and read the biographies, its time for Eternal Flame.

Because by that time, you hunger for still more – each phase of getting to know him has only increased your appetite. Now you want to see him for real - talk to him, get to know him, touch that face, smell him.

Open the novel Eternal Flame with the expectation of doing just that, through the eyes of Samantha Bennett, as she unknowingly takes you along. You get to experience with her what it is like to live what seems to be a timeless, haunting, never ending desire for millions of sensitive souls across the globe - to have an unexpected private visit or two from the most sought after and beloved entertainer of the 20th and 21st centuries – Elvis Presley.

As I read Eternal Flame, I smiled, nodded, laughed and cried till my eyes were puffy pits, but it was so worth it. The whole time I was reading, I had that unexplainable premonition that I and millions of others have been Sam, too. Many times, as my head lifts from the pillow some mornings, I have caught that ending to a howlingly funny but un-recallable joke, or the fading notes to a touchingly warm, velvet voice soothing a melody in my brain…

Author Patricia Garber knows that inexplicable place in the hearts of all ages, races, sizes and beliefs who, since the 1950’s & till this very day, have sensed in that other dimension of the mind, that their favorite singer wasn’t just an ordinary soul.

So Shakespearian, so Job-like in his real life’s story, in this novel, Elvis himself gets to experience a few of his finest dreams as they also come true – for he gets to do what he also had a premonition of doing – if only in his heart.
Eternal Flame is an intuitive, discerning and captivating journey for all of us who have deeply loved the soul of the man that was Elvis - the man who inspired the world through his voice, his eyes and his actions toward others, with a wonderful example of how to really live. "Here is a chance, once again, to touch that face.”

You can 'feel' Elvis through this book. Trish captured him perfectly and the best part is the little things she put in that only a deep fan would appreciate.

Molly Hernandez- USA

Trish certainly has a power with words, & can really put across all the feelings & emotions that this story conjurs up. You know that she's a true Elvis fan in the way she creates Elvis's image on paper, & with all the little things that he used to do. This is a beautifully written book & one that I shall re-read over & over again. –

Marion Meech, UK

I loved it. Just how we imagine Elvis to be. Beautifully written, a MUST to read.

Teresa Williams- North Wales.

Reading this book makes you go "Yeah, the writer's one of us!" Her take on Elvis is just perfect and in the next to last chapter I think she nails it in terms of what Elvis calling was or should have been.

Jason Edge- USA

I loved the book and thought Elvis was portrayed very well, I could just imagine him doing all those things he did in the book - I can tell Trish is a true, long-standing fan.

Cynthia Askie, UK

I couldn't put it down! Then I couldn't get to sleep through thinking about it.
Your interpretation of Elvis was just incredible. –

Lorraine Benison- UK

Eternal Flame is indeed the most satisfying and fulfilling fiction romance I have read. Right from the start when she set the scene in the kitchen, the imagination kicks in and the fantasies begin. It doesn't matter what Elvis did, he was sexy, and every scene in the book allows the reader to revel in that sexiness, she captured him perfectly.
