Imagine curling up with headphones on, and suddenly you're right there in Graceland's wild yards, hearing Lisa Marie Presley recount crashing golf carts with her father, Elvis. That's the intimate pull of From Here to the Great Unknown, her memoir turned audiobook, finished by her daughter Riley Keough just after Lisa Marie's death in 2022.
Growing up as Elvis's only child wasn't all glamour—it was chaotic, loving, and heartbreaking. Lisa Marie shares vivid memories: the unconditional bond with her dad, the terror of finding him lifeless, rebellious school days in LA with Priscilla, and her tumultuous marriages, including to Michael Jackson. She doesn't shy away from the darkness either—deep addiction struggles, motherhood's joys and trials, and grief that never quite fades.
What makes this audiobook stand out is the dual voices: Lisa Marie's recorded tapes, full of passion and pain, woven with Riley's tender reflections. It's like eavesdropping on a conversation between worlds, raw and revealing. Listeners get the full spectrum—from joyful escapades to gut-wrenching losses—making it feel profoundly personal.
As an Oprah’s Book Club Pick and #1 New York Times Bestseller, it's more than celebrity gossip; it's a human story of resilience. Picture driving cross-country, her voice narrating your journey, or unwinding at night with tales that make you reflect on your own family ties. The unbridged format keeps every emotion intact, no edits to soften the edges.
Whether you're a lifelong Elvis fan, intrigued by Presley family lore, or just love memoirs that feel like therapy sessions, this audiobook delivers. It's about 14 hours of listening that leaves you closer to understanding the woman behind the myth. Grab it for your next long commute or quiet evening—Lisa Marie's words will linger.
