It is 1955. Achsa is a lonely, passionate, and precocious fourteen-year-old. Isolated at school by her intelligence and disfigurement, and troubled at home by the undercurrents in her parents’ relationship, she finds comfort and inspiration in the tunes and rhythms she hears on her radio. Hearing a recording by an unknown twenty-year-old country singer named Elvis Presley, she fires off a fan letter, telling him she knows he’s going to be a star.
Diane Thomas has worked as Entertainment Editor of The Atlanta Constitution, a staff writer on Atlanta magazine and a freelance writer/editor. She and her husband divide their time between the north Georgia mountains and an island off the Florida panhandle. The Year the Music Changed: The Letters of Achsa McEachern-Isaacs and Elvis Presley is her first novel.
