From Here to the Great Unknown
From Here to the Great Unknown: A Memoir | Lisa Marie Presley, Riley Keough
3 posts | 4 read | 9 to read
Born to an American myth and raised in the wilds of Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley tells her whole story for the first time in this raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir faithfully completed by her daughter, Riley Keough. In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-gestating memoir. A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and now grieved. Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, lay in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them. About getting dragged screaming out of the bathroom as she ran toward his body on the floor. About living in Los Angeles with her mother, getting sent to school after school, always kicked out, always in trouble. About her singular, lifelong relationship with Danny Keough, about being married to Michael Jackson, what they had in common. About motherhood. About deep addiction. About ever-present grief. Riley knew she had to fulfill her mothers wish to reveal these memories, incandescent and painful, to the world. To make her mother known. This extraordinary book is written in both Lisa Maries and Rileys voices, a mother and daughter communicatingfrom this world to the one beyondas they try to heal each other. Profoundly moving and deeply revealing, From Here to the Great Unknown is a book like no otherthe last words of the only child of an American icon.

This is one of the most powerful memoirs I have ever read. As a woman and mother, I acutely felt the truth and love of Lisa Marie's life. Hearing the story from both mother and daughter made it even more impactful. I chose to listen to this audiobook and highly recommend it for readers to experience. This is ultimately a story about family, pain and grief, addiction and healing, that readers will empathize with and draw strength from.

Chelsea.Poole I just checked out the audio for this and I‘m looking forward to it even more after your review! 2d

I thought about ‘haunt‘ after viewing the movie “Priscilla”, then listening to this book. Elvis was haunted, as in tormented; his compulsions and addictions defined his life and death. It seems that Lisa Marie followed a similar path through losing her daddy and her only son, and resorted to heavy drug use and self destruction. The book is unique: it includes passages from daughter Riley, Lisa on a recording, interspersed with narration by⬇️

Read this in one sitting. Loved how Riley used her mom‘s words from tapes then added her insight. Just a telling of how it was for Lisa Marie to grow up in Graceland. Those sad eyes after her dad passed.😔 So hard to grow up under the legend of Elvis. Priscilla as a mother?😏 The ending got me😢 Addiction is terrible.
