From Here to the Great Unknown
Born to an American myth and raised in the wilds of Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter Riley Keough to help finish a long-gestating memoir. A month after making that request, Lisa Marie died, leaving tapes of stories Riley listened to while grieving and deciding how to make her mother known.
Those recordings recount smashing golf carts in Graceland yards, the unconditional love Lisa Marie felt from her father, being dragged screaming from the bathroom as she ran toward his body, living in Los Angeles with her mother and being sent to school after school, her marriage to Michael Jackson, her relationship with Danny Keough, motherhood, addiction, and ever-present grief. The book is presented in both Lisa Marie’s and Riley’s voices as Riley fulfills her mother’s wish.
