In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-conceived memoir. A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words.
Riley knew she had to fulfil her mother’s wish: to reveal her complex, incandescent and painful memories to the world. And to finally make her mother known.
In this raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir, Lisa Marie shares her untold story for the first time.
About being born to an American myth, raised in the wilds of Graceland. About the unconditional love she felt from her father, Elvis. About getting dragged screaming out of the bathroom as she ran towards his body on the floor. About living in Los Angeles with her mother Priscilla, getting sent to school after school, always kicked out, always in trouble. About her singular, life-long relationship with Danny Keough, and about being married to Michael Jackson. About motherhood. About deep addiction. About ever-present grief.
Profoundly moving and deeply revealing, and composed of both Lisa Marie’s and Riley’s voices, From Here to the Great Unknown is a book like no other – and the last words of the only child of a true legend.
