From Here to the Great Unknown Is a Presley-Family Therapy Session


Lisa Marie’s new memoir, co-authored by her daughter Riley Keough, lets the family grieve on its own terms.

“It’s difficult to go about your day without hearing an Elvis song out in the world,” Riley Keough writes in her new memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, which she co-authored with her late mother, Lisa Marie Presley. From Here to the Great Unknown tells Lisa Marie’s story through two voices: her own and that of Keough, who was helping her mother go through tapes and write the memoir at the time of her death. What emerges is less of a retelling of Presley’s life — though there is plenty of that — and more of a conversation between mother and daughter about parents and children, what we expect of those who raise us and what they impart to us when they leave.
