#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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. A PEOPLE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR 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.
