About this listen

Winner of the Audible Best of the Year Award for Celebrity Memoirs

Including the never-before-heard tape recordings of Lisa Marie Presley, this audiobook is movingly read by her daughter, Riley Keough, and multi award-winning actress Julia Roberts.

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.

In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-conceived 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 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, Elvis; about being upstairs, just the two of them. About getting dragged screaming out of the bathroom as she ran towards 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, and about being married to Michael Jackson, and 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 composed of both Lisa Marie’s and Riley’s voices, a mother and daughter communicating across the chasm of life and death 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 a true legend.

Critic Reviews

The result is an intimate celebrity memoir that gets beyond trashy revelation or prissy image control to tell something that sounds like the truth
Tragedy and addiction vie for your attention in this jaw-dropping memoir
This is a portrait of someone who strived for a normal life but for whom normality was forever denied
The book is of two minds: It’s an unadorned, conversational memoir that’s more matter of fact than gossipy . . . 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
Instead of tap dancing around the hard parts, we’re drilling into the bedrock . . . and these passages show how determined she [Lisa Marie] was to stand up to her demons
Thoroughly engrossing portrait of intergenerational sorrows
A truly wild, compelling tale
You don’t have to be a Presley fan to be riveted by the revelations
All stars
Most relevant
It is probably one of the most sad autobiographies that I have ever come across. It has made me introspect and re-evaluate life.

This book is a gut punch. A raw, unfiltered, emotional mess—but in the best way possible. I’ve read every Elvis book out there (I am an Elvis fan - no surprises there), so picking up his daughter’s memoir was a no-brainer. But this one hit different. A story so honest, it feels like a confession.

I went for the audiobook, and I am glad I did. Julia Roberts voices Lisa’s parts (perfectly, I might add), and Riley reads her own sections. But the real kicker? The snippets of Lisa’s actual recordings woven in.

The Presleys are the textbook definition of dysfunction: drugs, alcohol, privilege, tragedy—you name it. But through all the chaos, there’s one thing that stands out—love. Deep, messy, unshakable love.

This book isn’t polished or curated like so many celebrity memoirs. It’s raw and real, like a diary left open. You feel the pain, the love, the hopelessness. It’s a story about flawed people trying to hold each other together with nothing but love. And sometimes, even that isn’t enough.

This audio book is personal in a way that words on a page just can’t capture. It’ll stay with you long after you’re done.

Highly recommend.
