Description
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. Read more

Very good book!
Format: Hardcover
What. A. Book. Seriously! I couldn’t put it down! I didn’t know much about Lisa Marie’s life even tho I was a fan of her and her dad. I didn’t expect the ending and cried as I was reading it. If you’re debating on getting this book debate no more it’s worth it! It’s well written by Lisa Marie & her daughter Riley Keough. It goes through her struggles and her marriages and her career and her losses. You’re right there with her while you’re reading, it feels like you’re going through it right there with her! At least I felt that way! I highly recommend if you’re looking for a good memoir. Look no more this book is worth it! I just want to say to Riley, I’m so sorry for all your loss & you did an amazing job finishing your mom’s book. I can’t imagine how hard that must have been for you but you did it and you did it well!

A very good book for any Presley fans.
Format: Hardcover
A very interesting story of a life we have all read about for many years, but now written with her own thoughts and feelings. I truly enjoyed reading about Lisa Marie’s life from her own perspective.

Heartbreaking, Honest, and Ultimately Incomplete
Format: Kindle
From Here to the Great Unknown is a deeply personal and emotional memoir that offers a glimpse into Lisa Marie Presley's complicated life beyond the headlines. It was heartbreaking to see how much potential she had and how addiction continued to shape so much of her story. The book held my attention from beginning to end, but it also felt a little unfinished. Understandably, Riley Keough had to complete the memoir after her mother's passing, and because of that, the ending felt abrupt—almost like, "and then she died." I found myself wanting more reflection and closure. Despite that, I absolutely think it's worth reading. I would recommend it to anyone interested in memoirs, the Presley family, or understanding the human side of fame, grief, and addiction. It's honest, sad, and thought-provoking, even if it left me wishing there had been just a little more. Four stars from me. It is eye opening about her mother Priscilla that is for sure!

Love this book!
Format: Hardcover
So, since I was a child, I have always been fascinated by Elvis and his daughter. My grandmother loved Elvis, and as a young woman in the 50’s she really followed his career. She was enamored with who he was and even had every single record he made until he died. While she kept some newspaper articles from the time, she threw the records out when he died. She was utterly heartbroken by his passing, and she introduced me to his music. Then I saw Lisa. It was her eyes. Mysterious but she also had a depth and a story. I was always curious about what created those eyes, and that mystery. I followed her music and her marriage to Michael who was someone I also loved dearly. When she retreated from the public eye, I understood but was always curious about her. As I read this story, in her own words, I realize why I was drawn to her. In no way are our lives the same, but the trauma existed for us both and many themes are shared—abandonment, self-doubt. Then reading her daughter’s words, it’s beautiful. She fills in the spaces where we can use a little more context, where maybe Lisa has forgotten some of the story, or where another perspective can also be shown. It’s a perfect conversation between a mother and daughter, as if they are talking to you about their lives. Thank you for this story even if it did come posthumously. I was crying a few pages in, laughing in a few others, and recognizing my own story and life lessons along the way. Even if you didn’t know who Lisa or Elvis was, this would be a book to read for those who have suffered great loss and other trauma. It’s a journey, and I can’t put it down. I’ve had it a couple of hours and am almost done reading it!

Truthful, Heartbreaking - the Down Side of (Major) Celebrity Life, and the Power of Grief Itself.
Format: Paperback
Elvis Presley was the first major US rock star/teen idol/etc., and he went from very humble beginnings to extreme wealth and fame within just a few years. Intriguing to say the least, especially with all the fanzines and other press painting his life as ideal, the perfect celebrity life - as they did with most celebrities during that era. But all that glitters isn't gold, as this book proves over and over. He was clearly a kind, loving father but he died when his only child was just 9 years old. She never recovered, and this book details her grief over losing him, over losing her own son years later, over her own daughter's grief after losing her far too soon. This is a heavy read, and if you've ever lost someone you loved deeply you'll understand. This book is solid proof that those in the public eye are just people like everyone else with all the joys and sorrows the rest of us go thru. That said, it needs to be stated that Lisa Presley (like her father) was repeatedly betrayed by people she should have been able to trust, who should have been looking out for her best interests. Especially her mother Priscilla, who allowed her then-boyfriend Michael Edwards to remain in their household after molesting Lisa starting about a year after Elvis' death and continuing for several years afterward, sued Lisa's daughter Riley and Lisa's estate within days of her passing. Yeah, buddy. Lisa's daughter Riley is a different story however. She states in the introduction that she wants to show the "beauty been" that was her mother - and she succeeds. Lisa shows herself to be funny, kind, passionate, generous, lovable and a tiger mother to her children, and Riley provides details Lisa left out. Although not a light read it's definitely worth reading, and I just wish it were possible to give this all the stars in the galaxy, and hope that Lisa Marie is at peace in Heaven. No one should have to endure that much heartbreak in one lifetime.

A very sad story
Format: Kindle
“From Here to the Great Unknown” is a memoir of Lisa Marie Presley, legendary Elvis’s daughter, told by herself and her daughter Riley Keough. Lisa Marie Presley recorded her memories and asked her daughter to help her to write the book. Sadly, she died shortly after making those tapes, leaving the task of sharing her story with the world to her daughter. I love memoirs, autobiographies, and biographies. I could even say that these are my favourite genres. There is something indescribably poignant in reading about real people's lives. Often, the twists and turns which happened in reality are more unbelievable than the most elaborate fiction. I don’t always like the person who wrote the memoir or to whom the biography is dedicated. To be honest, even as a teenager, I have never been a true fan of any famous person, be it a singer, actor, or band. As to writers, thanks to our excellent Literature teacher at school, I knew too much about their ‘dirty laundry’ to unconditionally admire any of them. And still, it is exceedingly rare that I can’t relate to the person I’m reading about at all. Alas, this is what happened when I was reading this book. That’s why I was reluctant to write a review and share my thoughts. I don’t like reviewing books I didn’t enjoy. After all, it is purely subjective, and others might feel differently about the story. Yet, after coming across the review of the book around which there is or was huge hype and chatting with the person who wrote it on Instagram, I decided that I could share my thoughts too. So, here is my take on Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir. First, I didn’t like the book. At all. It made me boil with indignation – and I didn’t like feeling this way. I am a sympathetic person who always tries to help and comfort people, but it was just too preposterous to feel any sympathy. I guess I should have rated it with one star, but I don’t think it’s fair. I’ve read the book till the end, and it made me think about things. So, it wasn’t without any value. Riley Keough wrote at the beginning that her goal for making this book even after her mother passed was to show the world what a wonderful person Lisa Marie Presley was. I think that the main reason for the frustration from my side is that she has failed. What I saw, having read the book, was a shallow person without any depth or substance who, by a whim of fate, was born into wealth. A lot of people lose their loved ones, have difficult relationships within their families, and fight addictions and trauma. Yet, not all of them have the means to try to remedy the damage. Lisa Marie Presley had everything at her disposal to steer her life into a lighter, healthier path than the one her parents had placed her on. Her famous father, unintentionally, by dying when she was a child. Her mother by her marriages and her husbands’/boyfriends’ attitude to Lisa Marie. Instead, she seemed to have floated through life, avoiding anything that required any effort. Her thoughts about school and education are ridiculous. She said she didn’t care about school, wasn’t interested in anything it could offer, and ignored it. But then she went on declaring that she craved to understand life, what it was all about. I’m not a die-hard fan of traditional education. Any system is rigid by default and cannot be perfect. Even so, anyone who wants to achieve something tangible, significant, like exploring space, finding a cure for a serious illness, etc., must go through the education ladder as it is. There is no way around it. Whether it is good and fair is a different matter altogether. Having read the book, I was left with the impression that it still depends on a person if they strive to achieve something or not irrespective what start they are given in life. Some pursue their passion even if they were born rich. They use the opportunities to build something worthy, to grow. Riley Keough, Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter, is an excellent proof of this theory. She is successful in both her family and professional lives despite having grown up in a dysfunctional environment. Riley Keough said that it felt like they all had led a charmed existence, what with all the travelling to exotic locations, spending time surrounded by luxury. I wonder if this ‘fairy tale’ wasn’t the reason her mother not simply lost but had never felt a connection with reality. A childhood spent in Elvis’s Graceland, so unlike any place children usually grow in, then changing schools and her mother’s hectic lifestyle – all this could have warped anyone’s mind. “From Here to the Great Unknown” is not the book I’ve enjoyed reading. Still, it has taught me something and given me some food for thought. I believe it’s not the worst result of an otherwise unsatisfying read.

It's an ok book
Format: Hardcover
The book was a good, quick read. It only has nine chapters. If the only reason you are buying this book because you are a MJ fan, don't waste your time. They gave him a whole chapter but, you learn nothing new. If you saw Lisa's interviews with Oprah, she is saying the same one sided story. Other than chapter 5, it's a good read but there are lots of holes in the story.
