Lisa Marie Presley's posthumous memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, completed by her daughter Riley Keough in 2023, finally has a release date!

According to People, Keough was able to recall intimate details her mother shared about navigating life in the spotlight with a famous father through conversations that occurred before her untimely passing in July 2023, and tapes that fueled the intimate account, slated for release next month!

"Wherever possible, I wrote it exactly as she said it. In other cases, I’ve edited my mother’s words for clarity or to get at what I know was the root of what she was trying to convey. What mattered most to me was feeling like the end result sounded like her, that I could instantly recognize her in the pages, and I can."

In the highly-anticipated memoir, Presley details a dislike for the limelight, while simultaneously enjoying the unmatched "electricity" of her father's shows. The singer also elaborated on beautiful moments with Elvis as a child, zooming in on a parent-teacher conference he attended at a her school.

"In Los Angeles I went to school at John Thomas Dye, up in the hills of Bel Air. I still sometimes drive by it just to remember the day my dad came to a parent-teacher conference. I knew he was coming, and I couldn’t wait. I could feel the teachers’ nervousness and excitement, too. My little student friends were so excited that I got even more excited — everybody was just running around crazy."

Presley continued:

"Then my dad showed up. He got out of the car and he had on a respectable outfit — black pants and some kind of blouse — but he was also wearing a big, majestic belt with buckles and jewels and chains, as well as sunglasses. He was smoking a cigar. I met him at the car, and I walked up the walkway with him, and I just remember that feeling of walking next to him, holding his hand."

Interested individuals will be able to get their hands on a handful of stories similar to the above, and so much more in Lisa Marie Presley's posthumous memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, out October 8th!
