About this listen

#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.

What the critics say

“Instead of tap dancing around the hard parts, we’re drilling into the bedrock. We hear less from Presley and more from Keough, who comes across as level headed, valiant and kind. . . . Keough approaches the episode with respectful levity, the best tool available to members of a dysfunctional family. . . . Presley still gets a word in here and there, and these passages show how determined she was to stand up to her demons.”The New York Times

“When her actor daughter, Riley Keough, writes that she wants Lisa Marie to emerge from the pages of the memoir as a ‘three-dimensional character’, she’s not kidding . . . it’s clear that Presley was nothing if not radically honest. It’s also striking how Keough seems to almost plead with the reader to understand and love her mother as much as she does. Ultimately, this is a book built on grief: Lisa Marie Presley’s for her father and son, but also a daughter’s for her mother.”The Guardian

“The book is of two minds: It’s an unadorned, conversational memoir that’s more matter of fact than gossipy, little interested in preserving what her father’s biographer Peter Guralnick once called ‘the dreary bondage of myth.’ And it’s a frank, almost unbearably heavy meditation on grief. . . . Stunningly candid . . . Both women write gracefully about the unbearable, immovable heaviness of grief. Keough’s portrait of her mother in her final months is especially indelible. ‘I had mistakenly thought she was so strong-minded that nothing could ever truly hobble her,’ she writes. ‘But of course it could. Enough pain can hobble anyone.’”The Washington Post

I'm the same age as LMP, I was so sad when she passed. Hearing this book, telling about her life, her children and of course her Dad felt like talking to an old friend.
My only disappointment is Julia Roberts, her monotonous voice distracts from the elegance of this book.

Lisa Marie was a traumatized woman who did the very best within her abilities. Beautiful story told by her daughter.

Firstly, I believe Julia Roberts was not the right choice for the narration, as I felt she failed to capture the essence of the story. My heart goes out to Riley, Ben, and Lisa Marie, who clearly lacked the support and understanding they needed in their childhood. The struggles with drugs and the toxic environment they faced severely limited their chances for a better life. Despite the challenges, Riley has emerged as a truly grounded individual, and her relationship with her mother is remarkable. I genuinely wish Riley and her sisters and Danny Keough an abundance of love, light, and healing. We all have our unique journeys of growth and learning. Thank you for sharing this with us. Not a fan of Priscilla somewhat toxic

I wasn't aware of her full story and it makes me sad to know that mental illness took hold of her as well as her young son.

Raw and honest emotion. Although she was in the public eye you get to see the real and very human life of Lisa Marie and how she is like all of us and not like any of us at the same time. Her experiences are extraordinary but her emotions are ordinary like all of us living through the joys and tragedies of life. Very moving and sweet narration by her daughter. She would be proud.

Beautiful, raw, tragic. Human.
