WOW!  WOW!  WOW!  

 

Since finishing this book, I have been raving about it to practically EVERYONE.  

✅Friends on here

✅My BFF’s Elvis loving hubby 

✅The guy that sold me my car 

✅My physical therapist

 

I kid you not.  It starts something like this: “I didn’t plan to read this book, but within minutes, I was ADDICTED.”  And friends that have heeded my suggestion respond something along these lines: “OMG!  I’m addicted too.”

 

As I grew up, I watched much of Lisa Marie’s life unfold within the headlines.  It always seemed like tragedy befell her time and again.  And to be blunt, I wasn’t sure I wanted to read about those traumas, especially considering her life is now over. 

 

But I was wrong.  Those headlines were sensationalized taking away her humanity.  And here, Keough gives that back to Lisa Marie.  

 

This is a riveting, no holds barred exploration of Lisa Marie’s life crafted in combined effort between Lisa Marie, who left audiotaped recordings detailing large swaths of her life, and her daughter, Keough, who filled in any gaps and added perspective.  

 

It’s brutally honest and raw, answering many burning questions while also painting Lisa Marie in very human terms.  There is immense sadness but also overwhelming joy and love. 

 

Keough wanted to convey her mother in a three-dimensional light.  Not merely a daughter of a legend but a woman who was deeply loved and loved big even as she fought old demons.  And in this, Keough succeeds.  

 

🎧With Lisa Marie’s voice being narrated by the incomparable Julia Roberts, I hung on every word.  Keough reads her own additions which felt as though I was sitting with a friend talking about her beloved mother.  But the piece de resistance is when Lisa Marie, from those recorded audiotapes, provides her own thoughts in her own voice.  There’s no doubt that this will be one of my favorite audiobooks of the year!
