The saddest autobiography/biography I've ever read.  I feel so sad for her, and for her children.   Losing your mum is something you never really get over

I don’t think I’ve ever read a sadder, more inspiring book. Equal parts funny and utterly heartbreaking, I highly recommend it if you’re at all interested in Elvis and his legacy, Lisa’s own legacy, music, addiction, mental health, or, surprisingly (to me, I had no idea she was a member) Scientology. Riley Keough, Lisa Marie’s eldest child, is the co-author, as it was published after Lisa Marie Presley passed in 2023. Lisa's writing is brutally honest, funny, poignant, and at times, absolutely devastating. Riley's writing is so full of love for her mother that even when she's talking about heart wrenching moments of deep pain in her own life, you would never doubt for a second that Riley and her mother shared a deep and profound bond. The way Riley writes about her mother, you can tell that they love they shared as mother and daughter was, and is, absolutely unconditional. I give From Here to the Great Unknown 5 stars.

5.0

Such a great book to listen to as an audio. I picked this up wanting to know more about Lisa Marie and being Elvis's daughter and this book is just so much more. This is a dual narration book, with Lisa's part being narrated by Julia Roberts and the other part being narrated by Lisa's daughter Riley Keough. This is a book filled with emotion, but a wonderful story of motherhood, loss, addiction, insecurities, grief,  passion, music and love.
