From Here to the Great Unknown: Oprah's Book Club

Overall a great read. A lot was told about Lisa Marie’s life from her perspective and her daughters. You get a glimpse into her life along with the ups and downs. While the overall book is fairly short I wanted to know more. I would have loved more behind the scenes stuff. Definitely worth the read!

This book gives a very different view of the life of Lisa Marie Presley. As a forever fan of her father, I had a rather negative about his daughter & the way she seemed to live her life. I was saddened by the way it appeared to outsiders like myself, that she had seemed to follow her father’s examples of drugs & a disregard for life. I thought she’d had so many advantages yet threw them away. I viewed her as a disappointment to her father’s memory. Oh, how wrong I was & how badly I misjudged her life. A huge reminder that none of us should ever judge anyone else because we have not walked in their shoes for even a minute, much less a lifetime. That she lived through so much deep trauma over & over again, yet continued to try to pull her life together & find purpose and way to move forward, is a miracle in & of itself. Yes, drugs were a huge problem multiple times in her life. She had a mother that she didn’t believe loved her or wanted her. It’s certainly understandable why she felt that way. She was sexually abused for several years as a young girl by Priscilla’s boyfriend & Priscilla knew & allowed it to continue. Over & over, her mother showed her that she was not her top priority. Yet, when she herself had children, she had the capability of making them feel the love that she’d been deprived of since the death of her dad, Elvis Presley. I wonder where she got the strength to do as well as she did. I am left with a tremendous admiration & understanding & sadness for Lisa Marie. And, I want to thank Riley Keough for the compassion & willingness to show us all who her mother was, warts & all. You did a wonderful job finishing this book & giving us tremendous insight into your mother’s life & your own.

A tear jerker for sure. It is a great tribute to Lisa Marie

Sit down. Riley has something to tell you about her mom, about fate, and about personal choices. It’s a very human story, there’s joy, there’s love, there’s sorrow, and there’s regret. Another life, another lesson.

It was a decent book, but going forward and backward in time drives me crazy and it seemed like it happened a lot in this book. One good thing it was from Lisa Marie and Riley so we know it to be true. That part is great.

Very well written. Dry touching, very real. Thank you Riley, for sharing your mother’s story.

Wow. How profound. This book spoke to me. Beautifully written! Riley. You are special!

Very honest and well written. Her descriptions of events makes you feel like you were there with her. I read this book in a day !!!!

What a story. Fame and Fortune gone wrong.

Riley did so well completing her mother’s wish to put her voice onto the printed page. It was uniquely written with both women’s point of views on the events in their lives. All I can say, is thank you Riley for sharing your family with us. We never got a complete picture of your mom & her life other than what tabloids peek at, but having written your mom’s bio, it is done. No more speculation or gossip. So now she can RIP. And may you have the wisdom to continue to be your family’s torch bearer. Aloha nui loa!
