Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis Presley, passed away at the age of 54 in January 2023 due to complications from bariatric surgery.

Before her death, she requested her daughter, Riley Keough, to complete her memoir, which Riley accomplished by listening to tapes recorded by her mother.

The memoir aims to foster human connection by sharing universal experiences of love, loss, and family struggles, helping readers feel less alone.

Riley discussed the memoir during a CBS special at Graceland with Oprah Winfrey, focusing on her mother's grief and memories.

Riley expressed the strong emotional bond between her mother and her late brother, Benjamin, comparing it to the relationship between Elvis and Gladys Presley.

The memoir candidly addresses significant moments in Lisa Marie's life, including her tumultuous marriage to Michael Jackson and her struggles with addiction.

In her later years, Lisa Marie moved to England seeking stability, but this ultimately led to increased isolation and struggles with substance abuse.

Riley believes her mother never fully processed her father's death, resulting in lingering grief that resurfaced throughout her life.

In the weeks leading up to her death, Riley observed a sense of detachment in her mother and expressed concerns about her health.

Riley described her mother's grief over Elvis's death as private and complex, often expressed through solitary moments of listening to his music.

Riley recounted a surreal moment when her mother brought a tattoo artist into the room with Benjamin's body to discuss tattoo placement.

The memoir also touches on the 1993 molestation allegations against Michael Jackson and the subsequent trial where he was acquitted.
