In 2022, as Presley worked to finalize her memoir, she enlisted the help of her daughter, actor Keough (Daisy Jones & the Six). Presley passed away just a month later, leaving her daughter to honor her mother’s wish to share her passionate yet complex narrative. As she listened to raw recordings of her mother’s stories, Keough discovered tales of joy and heartbreak. Narrated in part by Keogh, with actor Julia Roberts standing in for Presley, the audio explores Presley’s tumultuous journey through addiction, motherhood, and grief. This book is not a mere transcription of Presley’s recorded memories but a layered memoir enriched by Keough’s reflections, which provide context and emotional depth. Keough’s sincere performance will draw listeners in as she shares her mother’s thoughts on everything from crashing golf carts at Graceland to the suicide of her son Ben.
VERDICT An intimate glimpse of Presley’s experiences growing up in the shadow of her father Elvis. This memoir is a beautiful tribute to the enduring power of love and the complexity of human experience through enduring family bonds.
