Autobiography of Lisa Marie Presley, published posthumously.
“My music wasn’t that successful. I didn’t finish high school. I’m not beautiful. I’m not good enough — but, I’m a great mother.” Quote from Lisa Marie Presley.
Shortly before Lisa Marie Presley’s untimely death at the age of 54, she had been working on her memoirs with her eldest daughter, Riley Keough. Lisa had procrastinated long enough. Riley would help her finish it. Unfortunately, death stepped in. What we have is an unfinished autobiography. Luckily, Lisa left behind audio recordings for the book. Finally, we get a true account of what really happened to Elvis Presley and his daughter.

Elvis marriage began on May 1, 1967
Elvis’s wife Priscilla became pregnant soon after their 1967 marriage. Priscilla wasn’t happy about it, knowing about the weight gain; knowing other women wanted the “King”. She would gain little weight living on a diet of apples and eggs.

February 1, 1968. Lisa Marie is born.
Lisa considered life at Graceland as the happiest time of her life. Elvis spoiled her, loved her, gave her everything she could ever want. They loved each other unconditionally.

Shortly before their separation. December 1971.
After birth, Elvis suddenly saw his wife as a mother – and their sex life declined. This would spell trouble in their marriage that would end in 1973.

Elvis and Priscilla’s divorce hearing, 1973.
When her parents separated in 1972, Lisa went to live with her mother in Los Angeles and she hated it. Lisa describes her mom as “chilly”. She knew she was unwanted. Although Priscilla loved her daughter in her own way, Lisa could be a Hellraiser. This resulted in a series of boarding schools.
Legally, Elvis shared custody. On the holidays and during summer, Lisa would return to Graceland, “Paradise” if you will.


Elvis would spoil her endlessly with gifts, trips to the amusement park and plane rides on his private jet named the “Lisa Marie”.
TROUBLE IN PARADISE
Lisa could see that her dad’s health was in decline. Overweight and heavily dependent on drugs, Elvis would knock himself out and sleep for days. Guilt played a big part of it. The death of his mother Gladys was caused by her worry over him being drafted into the Army. The end of his marriage was caused by him refusing to settle down, refusing to change.

Elvis with Linda Thompson
Lisa writes that she loved Linda Thompson, Elvis’s main girlfriend from 1973 – 1976.

Ginger Alden with Elvis
She would be replaced by Ginger Alden in 1977. Lisa writes that she thought Ginger didn’t love Elvis; that she was playing him. Others in his inner circle said the same thing.
AUGUST 16, 1977. Lisa woke up in the early afternoon with the feeling that something was terribly wrong. Going to see, Elvis was already dead on the bathroom floor. The head of the “Memphis Mafia”, Joe Esposito began CPR. Ginger pulled Lisa out of the room. Lisa fought hard to see her dad. She would see him taken out on a stretcher.
The end of Elvis would begin a new way of life for his daughter. She too would begin a singing career, take drugs, get married and have children.
On occasion, Elvis visited Lisa in her dreams. Lisa believed they were real visitations, writing that she tried to warn him of his overdose and heart attack. Elvis replied, “It’s already happened.”
The dreams ended when her son, Benjamin Keough was born.

Lisa Marie’s only son, Benjamin Keough.
