A review by rroseking
From Here to the Great Unknown by Lisa Marie Presley, Riley Keough

challenging dark emotional inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

I would highly suggest listening to this book. The audio book includes the tapes of Lisa Marie while she started brainstorming this book. This was a book written by her daughter using the tapes and Riley filling in where she felt she should. Lisa Marie Presley was a force of nature from the way she and her daughter describe her. There is some real discussion of generational trauma that I don't know if Lisa Marie ever figured out but she acknowledged. Yes there's tons about Elvis and her famous relationships but what I found the most interesting was hearing about Lisa Marie and how Riley saw her mother. I think she was someone who felt everything all at once and it eventually ate her up. I won't call her tragic because I think that's too simple. I think she was a highly complicated and empathetic person that no matter who her parents were would have found the world hard to handle. Or maybe we couldn't handle her. Either way I loved hearing her stories and Rileys memories of her.
