5.0
I read the hardcover a few months ago but when the audio came up in my library feed I knew I wanted to hear it narrated by Riley Keough and Julia Roberts, with excerpts of Lisa Marie Presley’s audio recordings. The audio did not disappoint and in fact I preferred it for the reading experience (5 from 4.5 rating). You probably want both for the photos in the hardcover.
This is such a powerful, vulnerable, and true story of motherhood, pain, addiction, and grief. It’s hard to hear so much pain and laid beautiful to see so much love. Keough honors her mother well and as a mom I appreciate the grace and forgiveness that runs through her telling. It’s beautiful!
I share a birthday with Elvis Presley so I have always been curious about his family. I recommend this memoir - whether to satisfy curiosity about this family or to steep in realities about the human condition. It’s all here and real.
