What Is Lisa Marie Presley’s Book About?
The Daisy Jones and The Six star took to Instagram on January 11, 2024, to reveal that she’s releasing Lisa Marie’s memoir posthumously.
“I’m honored to help put my mother’s book out for her,” Riley wrote alongside a photo of her and Lisa Marie during her childhood. “Her autobiography will be out in October with @randomhouse and you can preorder it now with the link in my bio.”
While Riley didn’t share any details about the topics that the book will touch on in the post, the memoir’s website includes information on what fans can expect to read about.
“Born to an American myth and raised in the wilds of Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley was never truly understood … until now,” the description on the website begins. “Before her death in 2023, she’d been working on a raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir for years, recording countless hours of breathtakingly vulnerable tape, which has finally been put on the page by her daughter, Riley Keough.”

Riley explained that she decided to release the memoir – which Lisa Marie was working on at the time of her death – because only a“few people had the opportunity to know who my mom really was,” according to a statement shared with Associated Press.
“I was lucky to have had that opportunity and working on preparing her autobiography for publication has been a privilege, albeit a bittersweet one,” she continued. “I’m so excited to share my mom now, at her most vulnerable and most honest, and in doing so, I do hope that readers come to love my mom as much as I did.”
