More details about the memoir
The cover image of the book features a young Lisa Marie sitting in front of her father, Elvis Presley. Although her mother, Priscilla Presley, is not shown on the cover, her hand appears to be on Lisa Marie’s arm.
Riley previously told Variety that Lisa Marie had been working on the memoir for more than three or four years before she died in 2022. She had asked her first child to help her with it. Furthermore, all the information in the memoir captured the inspiring anecdotes of Lisa Marie’s journey, transcribed from recorded tapes.
What does the memoir contain?
According to Random House, the memoir contains personal and heartwarming stories and memories of Lisa Marie, from being at Graceland with Elvis Presley and living in Los Angeles with Priscilla to her first marriage and her famous second marriage with pop star Michael Jackson.
Back in February, Riley, who is Lisa Marie’s eldest out of four children, shared her sentiments on what would have been Lisa Marie’s 56th birthday. She captioned a throwback photo of her mom smiling, “Happy Birthday, mama”.
Meanwhile, since her mother’s death, Riley Keough has been quite actively involved in preserving her mother’s work and legacy. As the trustee of the Promenade Trust, which owns Graceland, she recently filed a lawsuit against a company claiming that Lisa Marie borrowed $3.8 million and used Graceland as collateral. She has denied all the claims.
She also said that the signed documents were false and requested court injunctive relief to stop the sale of the historic property; ultimately, the judgment was in her favor.
