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.
