Just a month before her death in 2023, Lisa Marie Presley had asked her eldest daughter and Elvis‘ granddaughter to help finally finish her long-gestating memoir — and that book is set to release on Tuesday, Oct. 8, co-written by Riley Keough herself. The memoir has already risen to the top of on Amazon’s bestselling list as a book on Love and Loss even in its pre-order stage ahead of Oprah Winfrey‘s trip to the historic Graceland property and interview special with Keough.

Using extensive archival tapes Lisa Marie had previously recorded for the memoir, Keough “knew she had to fulfill her mother’s wish to reveal these memories, incandescent and painful, to the world,” reads the book’s description. Spanning 204 pages, From Here to the Great Unknown covers everything from the “unconditional love” she felt from her father and the times they spent together on the grounds of Graceland, to living in Los Angeles with her mother and getting kicked out of several schools, to her lifelong relationship with Danny Keough and being married to Michael Jackson.

Right now, you can also get the new memoir written in both Lisa Marie and Keough’s words, for a 33% discount as of publication time. Normally $32, you can buy the hardcover edition of Fauci’s From Here to the Great Unknown for $21.49 while Amazon’s promotion lasts.

“Few people had the opportunity to know who my mom really was, other than being Elvis’s daughter,” Keough said in a statement on the memoir. “I was lucky to have had that opportunity and working on preparing her autobiography for publication has been a privilege, albeit a bittersweet one. 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.”

“Going to his shows was my favorite thing in the world,” Lisa Marie had written in an excerpt in People. “I was so proud of him. He would take me by the hand and bring me out onstage, then get walked to wherever his place was on the stage, and I would be taken from him and brought to wherever I was going to be sitting in the audience. Usually with [Elvis’s father] Vernon.”
