Lisa Marie Presley’s highly anticipated memoir is set to be released later this year.
The posthumous memoir is titled “From Here to the Great Unknown,” and the cover is the famous photo of a young Presley leaning on her father, Elvis.
Randomhouse revealed the book’s title and cover in a post to Instagram on Tuesday morning. The publishing company also noted the key part Presley’s eldest daughter, actress Riley Keough, played in the book’s completion.
“Born to an American myth and raised in the wilds of Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley tells her whole story for the first time in “From Here to the Great Unknown, “a raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir faithfully completed by her daughter, Riley Keough,” the caption said.
According to the memoir’s description, Presley asked Keough in late 2022 to help her finish her memoir.
Just a month later, Presley passed away at 54 years old due to complications from bariatric surgery she had several years before.
However, the “Lights Out” singer recorded much of her story on tape, which is what helped her eldest daughter complete her mother’s wish.
“Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, laid 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, about being upstairs, just the two of them,” the description explained.
The memoir will also cover the heartbreaking moment when Presley realized her father, the King of Rock and Roll, had died at just 42 years old.
The book will touch on her tumultuous teenage years in Los Angeles with her mother, Priscilla, her first marriage to Danny Keough, Riley’s father, her marriage to Michael Jackson, motherhood and more.
“Riley knew she had to fulfill her mother’s wish to reveal these memories, incandescent and painful, to the world,” the description continued. “To make her mother known.”
“From Here to the Great Unknown” is set to be released on Oct. 15.
