#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 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-conceived 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 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, Elvis; about being upstairs, just the two of them. 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, getting sent to school after school, always kicked out, always in trouble. About her singular, lifelong relationship with Danny Keough, and about being married to Michael Jackson, and what they had in common. About motherhood. About deep addiction. About ever-present grief. Riley knew she had to fulfill her mothers wish to reveal these memories, incandescent and painful, to the world. To make her mother known. This extraordinary book is composed of both Lisa Maries and Rileys voices, a mother and daughter communicating across the chasm of life and death 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 a true legend.

'The result is an intimate celebrity memoir that gets beyond trashy revelation or prissy image control to tell something that sounds like the truth * The Times * 'Tragedy and addiction vie for your attention in this jaw-dropping memoir' * The Guardian * 'This is a portrait of someone who strived for a normal life but for whom normality was forever denied' .' * i news * 'The book is of two minds: Its an unadorned, conversational memoir thats more matter of fact than gossipy . . . . And its a frank, almost unbearably heavy meditation on grief. . . . Stunningly candid . . . Both women write gracefully about the unbearable, immovable heaviness of grief. Keoughs portrait of her mother in her final months is especially indelible' * The Washington Post * 'Instead of tap dancing around the hard parts, were drilling into the bedrock . . . .and these passages show how determined she [Lisa Marie] was to stand up to her demons' * The New York Times * 'Thoroughly engrossing portrait of intergenerational sorrows' * Variety *
