Brief Description:
OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • 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 mother’s wish to reveal these memories, incandescent and
painful, to the world. To make her mother known. This extraordinary book is
written in both Lisa Marie’s and Riley’s voices, a mother and daughter
communicating—from this world to the one beyond—as they try to heal each
other. Profoundly moving and deeply revealing, From Here to the Great
Unknown is a book like no other—the last words of the only child of an
American icon.
