From Here to the Great Unknown by Lisa Marie Presley, Riley Keough

From Here To The Great Unknown
A Memoir
By Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough

Read by Riley Keough and Julia Roberts

There are little snippets of Lisa Marie’s voice, from tapes she left for Riley, telling her story in her own words. 

I understood on some level that Lisa Marie was damaged. Fragile and broken by trauma and the cost of her father’s fame. 

But wow. 

This was incredibly sad. Heartbreaking. 

I didn’t know about Ben Keough and listening to Riley’s experience with his suicide gutted me. It’s an experience I wish we didn’t share. 

In Nov 2023 I listened to Elvis and Me by Priscilla Presley and saw the movie with my daughter. I’m not an Elvis fan, but I enjoyed the full circle moment in hearing some of Lisa Marie’s memories.
