• "From Here To The Grea...
My book arrived yesterday afternoon and I finished it this morning. First off, I'm incredibly thankful that Riley decided to complete her mother's book, and that Lisa Marie was able to record the story to begin with. That being said, this is perhaps the saddest thing I've ever read. Elvis was a part of my life growing up. I can't remember a time when my parents didn't listen to his music, and I raised my own sons listening to him as well. I vividly remember the day he left us. And I also remember waiting years to hear Lisa sing. She was beautiful and talented and charismatic. I've always said that Priscilla deserved recognition for saving Graceland and for allowing the rest of us to see Elvis's home. In just the past 15 or so years I've really paid attention to the things that people have said about Priscilla, and it's been pretty negative. At times I defended her, but not now. Lisa's memoir has revealed what many people believed all along. The very idea that she constantly left her to be cared for by others after Elvis was gone was bad enough, but the fact that she allowed Mike Edwards to molest Lisa then blamed Lisa for it was the last straw. Although Lisa's book doesn't focus a lot on Priscilla, there are little snippets throughout that demonstrate just how awful her mom was. There was no healing after Elvis was gone, nothing to help her transition. And as Priscilla gained control over Graceland, then acquired her own fame on TV and in movies, she was less and less present in Lisa's life. Lisa never stood a chance at having a normal life. In interviews over the many years since Elvis's death, Priscilla always maintained that everything was done for Lisa's benefit. But in this book, we see that was never true. Lisa looked for attention in obviously bad ways, but went on to try and build a life of her own. Her own children became her focus and I believe that she was the best mom that she could be. Even her own grandparents were of no help. Patsy Presley (Elvis's double first cousin) became her mother figure. The book takes us through her entire life, the loss of her son, Ben, and then Lisa's death. It was beyond sad and it didn't have to be that way. Priscilla failed, massively.
Hey. Don’t forget the book is written from the perspective of a little girl who had just lost her “out of this world” father. I am sure her rejecting Priscilla had to do with the feeling that she had to come to terms with her father not being around anymore. And the PAIN that this implied, let’s remember the man who was no longer here and that she had to process was Elvis, one of the most loved persons in the world , who happened to be her father. I I’m sure Priscilla was clueless on how to handle the situation, and made terrible choices in seeking to give some structure for her daughter. She for sure was clueless, but hey, who could handle Lisa?
I always felt that Prissy set up Elvis from day one. Curry Grant told his story and it fits. She is a fake person who puts on this demure innocent act when she really was a honeypot trap that always craved money and fame for herself. IMHO.
@@Razzledazzle0106I agree, both her Parents Elvis and Priscilla made terrible choices that traumatized her and although her father has been placed on a petal stool ( I love him dearly) . He no doubt loved her, but his death was so traumatic that I think unbeknownst to little 9 yr old Lisa, it made her hate her mother and rebel which is what I took from what she was trying to say. Her mother could never compete with such a huge persona like Elvis… as she said Graceland was a place of no rules or structure, what kid would want to leave that and go to the other home that was structured?! Priscilla definitely made some huge mistakes but I think she was also traumatized too, a clueless young mom perhaps … I’m afraid this will villainize Priscilla even more, unfortunately. Regardless, I sensed so much trauma throughout the whole family. It’s hard not feel empathy for them all including Priscilla. An Icy personality doesn’t make you evil or a terrible person.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REVIEW. I can't wait to read this.
@@Razzledazzle0106 So according to what you are saying Priscilla was correct in letting her live in boyfriend remain living after he had been and continued to be inappropriate to Lisa in her bedroom at night from age 13. Not having her father anymore who she knew would have protected her and her mother allowing this monster to still live more than 3 years with them. No wonder she took drugs from age 13 to 17.
I enjoyed reading the book. Was sad both Elvis and Lisa Marie died much too soon and young. He was very gifted with his voice and showmanship! I’m glad Riley finished Lisa’s book and couldn’t put down once I started. Love the song that Lisa recorded with her Dad. She definitely felt the lost and missed him terribly. May they both RIP.
I’ve ordered my copy today. I was named tupelo in 1970 I’m glad Riley daughter shares that with me. ❤
That's wonderful, and a great honour and trubute🌹
Lol sickening. Elvis was attacked by the New York State mob boss he was only about 18 19 years old and that's what happened to Elvis Presley we need to investigate this family
Just finished the audio..honestly its brilliantly done !! In my opinion....very emotional x
Thank you Jamie,
Great preview, just telling us enough.
I've just subscribed, looking forward to all your content.
Once again thank you Jamie ❤️
it was VERY eyeopening. So heartbreaking.
I am very much looking forward to this one. Thanks for the non-spoiling review.
You're very welcome! Yeah, I was shocked by some of this, it's definitely going to cause a stir!
Brought this book today looking forward to reading it great review 😊😊
Looking forward to reading the book.I’m also named tupelo.have been since 1970
I have the Lisa Marie and Riley’s book and am enjoying it from Lisa Marie ‘s side and Riley’s side and I will be getting the audiobook too 😁👍🏻
How do you get the audio book!
This little girl could have had the best life after her dad’s passing had she had a responsible mother! The best schools the best home ect…. Nothing came out of all that money!
Priscilla was a terrible mother to Elvis' little girl . Crammed that wacky cult Scientology down her throat . To busy with the men to b a mother .
Don’t judge … I’m sure the mother felt overwhelmed as well
@@Razzledazzle0106 you DO NOT stay with a man abusing your child and abusing you she was a horrible mother! PERIOD!
@@Razzledazzle0106 why didn't she kick that creep out when lisa told her he was abusing her!
@@taffy93Because he manipulated her! Just remember Lisa went back to an ex after him doing the dirty! He was abusive to Cilla too!
Thanks for the update, really looking forward to reading this
Thank you very much for the review. I have ordered the book from my book shop. Looking forward to reading this. Enjoy the rest of the week. Mildred xxx
Jamie, I picked up my copy today, but have not had the time to dig in. Nice to see the book front and center at Barnes and Noble and has people talking about Elvis and Lisa (good) again. Thanks 😊
PS, Loved the live-stream tonite!!! Had a blast. 😊
Her mother Priscilla comes out of it much worse than I ever thought she would. Have never had a very positive image of her, but devastating that LM thought her mother neither loved nor wanted her 💔. Audible is Julia Robetts I assume narrating LM's voice. While of course Riley does her own 👍
Thanks Jamie for your review❤. I got my copy from Amazon UK today 8 October, and l cannot wait to read it 😊.
Got mine arriving today, looking forward to reading it
Oh, very cool! It's a quick read, but (at times) not an easy one!
Thanks for the good review. This will add so much perspective to what we already know. So many of the personal memory books were by folks who considered Elvis their best friend. To hear from Lisa, and Riley, is a whole different kind of interesting. I hope Lisa is at peace, she was one tough cookie. I lost my beautiful boy at 26. Hard to know if you’ll make it back from that.
I think Riley is one strong amazing woman!
Hi, Tracy! You're very welcome - and thanks for sharing that with us! I'm very sorry you lost your son; as you say, she was very strong (even if she says she didn't think she was). And yes, while not a lot of new specific details, it does pain a much more vivid picture of what they went through, and personal context - which is invaluable.
@@TTidewater41009 I did too until she sold out and let her grandmother hold center stage at Graceland and make Lisa Marie look like a liar and rewrite history with the very book that Lisa wanted to finally be able to tell the world the truth about her life. Priscilla lied and said Lisa talked to her about marrying Michael Jackson when she admitted on Oprah in 2003 that she didn't know her daughter had married him until she heard it on the news and helicopters were flying over her house to "see if I had drown myself in my pool at the news," Riley and Ben adored MJ and said he was very kind to them and now Riley allows Priscilla to do a hatchet job on him and worse than that, allow Oprah to make it book of the month. Priscilla allowed her 10 year old daughter to be molested and even though Mike Edwards admitted it in his book and even said that Priscilla had to know, he's now calling Lisa Marie a liar. Priscilla used Lisa to drive Elvis crazy and after his death she had no use for her own child. The book made me realize what a strong woman Lisa was and not the screw up we thought she was. Her life was so hard that most people would have killed themselves from the grief and the pressure.
Thanks for the summary!
Tears just rolled down my cheeks. No child should have to go through being molested by her mom’s boyfriend. Yrs ago I read his book how he’d be attracted to her as a child. It’s she that brings up how far it went. They both go together. He’s lucky ELVIS wasn’t alive when this came out because he’d not be able to walk. Audio is quite more raw, emotionally draining and terribly sad. 😢
I read this couldn't put it down. It was interesting how she was raised So sad Lisa she went through a lot 😢 I wonder if her mother read the book.
I just found this channel.
I’m listening to the audio book of this.
I really like that you can hear Lisa Marie’s voice. I’m on Chapter 4 so far.
When Mathew Perry Passed away I purchased the audio book and it was nice to hear his voice also .
His book helped me understand about alcoholism. My husband passed away in 2015 and he did drink a lot before he passed away. So now I have a better understanding .
I’m only listening to 2 chapter s a day in Lisa’s book.
May she rest in peace.
sound like this great book much looking forward to this
Thank you for this really appreciate this
Just finished the book. Truly heartbreaking from beginning to end. My takeaway is how tragic a Godless life can be and how easily Satan deceives.
Profound.
@@eaptcbinaflash1 That's the problem! The idea that Lisa had no hope is the most tragic part.
Thanks for the preview …I have it on preorder and looking forward to reading it
Very cool, Rick! And you're welcome!
I am so excited to read the book and listen to the audiobook! I just downloaded the audiobook ❤
Gonna read this. Thanks jamie
You're very welcome! Happy to help!
Thanks Jamie, that was an excellent review, telling your viewers enough to whet their appetite without giving too much away. I like your description of not whitewashing but not villifying either.
Thank you for the review. Can't wait to read. Looking forward to your livestream. TCB
Can't wait to receive my book ! Thank for your awsome review loved it !😊❤
It’s 9:52 the day prior to release, I am counting down the minutes before the audiobook is released! Thank you for releasing this video, but not giving away too much.
Update- I am floored. It was stunning. I am processing all the stories. My heart breaks for all she went thru after her Daddy died. The audiobook was great cause you hear Lisa’s real voice for a small portion of each chapter. I have one thing I didn’t care for and that was Julia Robert’s reading. I read the book this evening and it was much better for me cause I was imagining Lisa’s unique cadence. Otherwise it was perfect.
Superb Review! 💯
I’m not a huge Elvis fan but Lisa Marie’s story intrigues me. I’m definitely going to get this book when it comes out - probably the audio because I heard that Riley and Julia Roberts are the narrators.
Hi im wacthing and lisineg to your video ❤❤😢its so horrible heartbreaking ❤im still waiting for my book..cant wait to read it ❤❤❤ bye from Australia ❤❤❤ love Elvis forever ❤❤❤😢😢💙💖💘💔💙
Hello Lisa and Riley worked on this book together before she died and Lisa asked Riley what she would think
My preorder has shipped from Shop Graceland. Hopefully it will be here by week’s end.⚡️
Can't wait to get the book
Thanks for Sharing 😮😮😮😮😮
How ironic that someone who began life at Graceland - arguably the most well-known house in the world - was published posthumously by 'Random House.' Almost a metaphor of her search for love.
Thank you Jamie, great review. waiting for it to arrive in Australia.
Great review!
I feel like because the tapes were meant to just get her thoughts down to use to craft her book they read like a diary entry, which is super personal vs “reworking” the story in editing. I also think Riley has a gift for putting her thoughts together in a very fluid manner (even in interviews I’ve seen she is so well spoken). I’m half way through and can’t wait to get to the meaning behind songs part! 😂
We do get Lisa in audio book. It’s awesome. Listening to it now
I've always wondered who Lisa's song 'Idiot' was about. The best FU song ever. 😂 I knew about Mike Edwards Lisa mentioned him being a creep on the Howard Stern show and he admitted he was attracted to her in his tacky book. I'm not expecting to learn much about Elvis but I was a fan of Lisa and wanna read the book to get her perspective on everything.
Hi, Paul! Yeah, Idiot isn't mentioned, but I'll have John ask Riley when he goes to one of the tour things she's doing! And yeah, there's not a ton you'll learn about Elvis, but some of the mindset parallels between Lisa and Elvis toward the end of their lives will certainly click a few things into place even more, imo.
There were rumours among the Michael Jackson fan community (I'm apart of it) that it was bout Michael but Lisa didn't clarify
It wasn't Jackson, she said she was really happy at that time she was married to him.
It’s a quick read but I had to keep taking breaks because I felt so sad. So much heartbreak in that family.
I think that one of the things that comes out from this book for me is how through living it though her own flesh, and without escaping the heartache, there is a thread that unites life and death. That both are part of the human experience. there is life , and there is also death. And that there is a misterious thread uniting it all .
I was at the concert at Wooly’s right up front.
I have listened to the audio book twice. It’s so heartbreaking the things Lisa went through.
Thankyou!
This family never stops cashing in on Elvis's name! Let the man rest in peace for God's sake!
I do not think this book was written for the money. It told a sad story of a life that should have been so much better than average and wasn't and the harsh reasons why.
You missed the point and the reasons behind this book 🤦🏻♀️
Lisa wanted this written.
I did the audiobook had some recordings of Lisa voice in it. This is excellent well written book. I cried my eyes out throughout the entire book. Priscilla fans should read this, she was always off with some man somewhere. And the abuse she took, funny I'd say she did regret leaving Elvis. I'm appauled that she continued to allow Lisa to be abused, I've always said Priscilla is a evil self centered un feeling woman.
Thanks for the update on this Great book and I have just found you on the ELVIS and Family world haven't gotten my book yet, Saw the Oprah special with Riley keoug last night the name of the book is perfect and I know that it's going to be on the Best selling list, I am so sorry, how do you get the audio book , it's hard for me to read and I thank you for sharing your opinion, I've got All the Lisa Marie music behind you , have a great day James.. TCB 1935
Thanks for that
You're very welcome! I thought fans might want at least a general idea of what to expect from the book. :)
My copy arrived on the 8th October and I finished it in 4 hours too! I’ve read so many books on Elvis , but to me this was the most telling , Lisa went through so much , Riley did such a good job as well and I loved the different fonts, that was a great touch and made it very easy to interpret. Do you think the audio book will be different? Xx
Prissy has a lot of explaining and repenting to do… mercy Prissy really did not want to be bothered being a mother… poor Lisa Marie
So sad to think that had Elvis been alive, Mike Edwards would never have gotten away with abusing her. That man probably would not have dared and if he had, i don't think he would've lived to tell the tale. I have read first chapter so not got to this bit yet 😢 Cilla will not be happy that this book saw the light of day.
Was lucky for Michael Edward’s that Elvis Sonny and Red never got to hear about this 😡 would have been a different outcome guaranteed 👊🏻😳
Feeling very sad 😢 as Elvis sang “you don’t have to face the music ? You don’t have to face the crowd ? Think Priscilla does now 😔
Unfortunately it happened after Elvis's death
@
My daughter bought the book for me for Christmas ❤️ started reading it and yes it gets a bit of getting used to with Riley naturally filling in for Lisa as she promised her mum she would do 🤟xx
Sad that there’s certain passages of child abuse kept out of certain countries issue of this book 😢
Why ?
I’m 63 and read most books written by the inner circle and I read between the lines of most of them lol although I wasn’t there and Lisa’s book had to be told and I can’t thank her daughter Riley enough for doing that ❤️ xxx
Seen Riley doing many interviews about the book 😇 has pricilla commented at all ?
I see that Riley is the sole trustee of Graceland 😇 thank god as I think Priscilla erode that horse to long for her own benefit 😔 sad but true x where were the Presley’s and the smiths when Graceland opened 😢
As you can tell I don’t have a lot of respect for the girl Elvis loved and I believe she was his love but she was not in love with him 😩she was on a mission and now Riley has brought that to an end thank god 👊🏻😎 xx
This might upset some folk 😭 love was not the fairy tale ending for Elvis but you can never help who you fall in love with and that’s a fact xxx
Just read a wee bit of the book and Ginger in Lisa’s eyes isn’t coming out to good 🧐 nobody was ever going to be good for her dad anyway 🤩 xx
Linda Thomson was and I haven’t come to part in the book yet 🥰
I know my post is to long 🤪 I could go on and on lol xx
I’m done xx
I have so much respect for Riley. She is breaking the cycle. I feel so bad for Lisa. No wonder she was such a hot mess. I hope she is at peace with her Father now❤
The Hard cover is a nasty brown colour here in the UK, prefer the Blue
Is there much photos in the book?
Nothing worth mentioing. A few grainy black and white shots, more of Lisa and her men and kids. The front cover is the best one.
I don t get my book until Thursday
I'll just wait until the movie comes out.
Didn't get to order the book or audio.here in. Aus. But after the. Oprah and now going through a lot of book that has been put out. I've gotten to see what a cruel life. Lisa had. Sorry to some but 9 yr Olds can remember things esp like sitting with her father's body and talking to him. Other things.too
It sounds interesting. They did have a hard life at times. I enjoy your channel!
Thank you, Ray! And yeah - there are some things in there that I didn't know happened to Lisa, and it's just really sad. But it's definitely an interesting book, and her love for Elvis just shines all the way through!
@@EAPSocietyim so glad to hear that. I grow weary of the Elvis bashing.
I'm glad that people are really finding out more. I'm not saying it to be mean. But it's been that way for a while. I pray for the family. I didn't think they'd go that far with the book. But the positive aspects of their family overshadow all the negative stuff especially when they worked in local government around Mississippi. I hope they write on that stuff more. Ttyl.
Glad she told the truth about Priscilla
When is oprah thing
It's on CBS/Paramount+ at 8pm Central U.S. Time (aka Elvis time) and lasts for one hour. 😁
It is on tonight
Sorry but I don’t rate Riley at all. She said in an interview before her mother died that she has no interest in her grandfather or his music.
Did she really say that ?
@sugarplumenigma4850 She may have said that at one time (I don't remember that, but she did say in the book that she was mad at Elvis for a while because his death hurt Lisa so much), what she said as of a few years back is nothing like that - she even named her daughter Tupelo, and that's not something you do if you don't want to be reminded of someone.
Sadly she only knows what her mum told her of her grandfather as she didn’t get to meet him, you can’t really not like someone you’ve never met can you.
I was named tupelo in 1970
@@tupelomiss8315She says that she was mad at Elvis for leaving (and hurting) her mother for the hurt and sadness it caused Lisa. Totally understandable. It’s her Mother. Let’s be mindful and like the song says, “Walk A Mile In My Shoes”. 😊
blame for Lisa's life being filled with drugs and broken marriages is attributed to Priscilla, and whose fault is it that Benjamin, Lisa's son, went down the same path of drugs as she did? Priscilla has her share of the blame for not being a good mother, but Lisa chose the path she followed. Not everyone who has a difficult life gives in to addictions and adventures.
Thanks for this. Your make-up is staining the collar of your jacket, though.
You really should look into the UK version of the book. Lisa's sexual abuse by Cilla's boyfriend was left out. Even complete sentences were changed. It is a disgrace that apparently 'someone' pulled some strings and made sure the truth didn't come out. So people don't order the UK version, buy the US version or listen to the audiobook.

Lisa
Marise
Great book but and very creatively put together it only focuses on a couple of significant events on Lisa’s life. There is no mention of Scientology and her dramatic exit, her mother marrying macro garibaldi and her complex relation with her brother Navarone. If you didn’t know any better you wouldn’t even know she had one. Not exactly a memoir.No mention about her filing for bankruptcy and the impact it had in her due to people mishandling EPE including her mother. Barely anything on her 10 years with Michael Lockwood or any details about the twins. I feel that either Lisa never finished it or Riley had decided to omit a lot of it. What was in the book was amazing but more needs to be discussed about what wasn’t in the book
Priscilla never married Marco Garibaldi.
Il libro è bellissimo, molto profondo e commovente. Riley Keough ha ereditato la classe , l' eleganza del nonno Elvis. Alla fine nei ringraziamenti non nomina Jerry Schilling e Priscilla. Questa è una cosa molto importante perché all' inizio si vede che deve aver subito molta pressione da Priscilla e soprattutto da Jerry Schilling. Infatti Ho avuto l' ennesima conferma che quello che mi ha raccontato il mio amico calabrese è tutto Vero. È vero che Jerry Schilling non sopportava Marvin GEE GEE Gambill. Infatti , essendo stato stato con il fiato sul collo di Lisa Marie e Riley , avrà imposto di non parlare assolutamente di Marvin. Quindi La cugina di Elvis Patsy Presley all' improvviso si chiama Gambill e la figlia Deana Gambill amica di Lisa Marie Presley pare senza un padre . Evidentemente Patsy si è autoriprodotta e si è cambiata il cognome da sola. Marvin era l' amante gay di Elvis e Jerry Schilling raccontò tutto a Priscilla per creare problemi alla coppietta Elvis e Marvin. Infatti Priscilla pretese il matrimonio altrimenti avrebbe raccontato tutto alla stampa coinvolgendo anche la cugina di Elvis Patsy. Poi Charlie Hodge, grandissimo amico di Elvis e Grande musicista è stato ridotto a semplice aiutante di Elvis. Evidentemente Jerry e Priscilla odiavano pure Charlie Hodge. Ginger viene trattata malissimo e pure qui tracce di Priscilla. Nel libro Elvis e Priscilla risultani amici ma non si capisce quando lo ha lasciato. Poi Mike Stones disse che Priscilla faceva continuamente cause per avere soldi da Elvis. E poi non si capisce perché Priscilla andò poi così lontano. Non poteva rimanere a Memphis? COMUNQUE SCREEN STARS SCRISSE CHE ELVIS CACCIÒ PRISCILLA DA GRACELAND CON LA SCUSA CHE LEI AVEVA UNA STORIA CON MIKE STONES

I disagree with Riley 's involvement, actually with anyone' s involvement because I would like it to be Lisa Marie's and only Lisa Marie's, even unfinished. I would prefer it.
Her mother wanted her to help her with it. She asked her a month before she died. They would never release it unfinished. Lisa Marie was exceptionally close to her daughter.
Riley has been next to Lisa so she was a witness of her struggles and grief. She can give a different perspective. The most important thing is not to have a story that is too "lightened and filtered". Some "facts" are well known by the fans...
I was never a fan of Lisa Marie Presley or her music. She never appeared at the post Elvis Concerts (outside of the U.S.A.) which Priscilla and members of the Memphis Mafia did. She must have known that Elvis Fans would have liked to have seen her. Further, in my opinion, she should have concentrated on country music like Taylor Swift but instead sang rock type songs. I am a huge Elvis Fan but will not be buying this book.
She was not obliged to and she had young children at the time and probably put them first.
🎶Walk A Mile In My Shoes🎶
Honey. Priscilla put her face in front of anybody especially anything to do with Elvis.
So Lisa Marie was meant to live her life and play music according to you, your values and your own musical genre tastes …. It’s not all about you, honey, lol 😜
@@youtubeuserthinker we also don't know what it was like to appear with Priscilla due to her being so self centered.
Thanks.Unfortunately it isn't a happy story. So sad that Lisa Marie wanted be a good person, a good mother and a good wife, but didn't feel good within her own skin. I understand that people in EAP Society are mostly interested in Elvis. Without doubt he IS The King of rock'n' roll (and many other genres...), but for some reason I read first about Lisa Marie's marriage to Michael Jackson. I don't buy that MJ faked his health problems in 1995, because he didn't want to do the TV special. He was unconscious and the whole crew witnessed it. So many new dance moves were created, one of his idols, Marcel Marceau, was there ready to share the stage with him etc. But now I will read about Lisa Marie's childhood and her relationship with Elvis.
With all due respect, I seriously doubt what this book will reveal could be categorised as a "Nuclear Bomb". Lisa said a great deal in many interviews she gave during her lifetime. Especially about the difficult relationship she had with her mother. I think many hard-core Elvis fans who don't like priscilla are expecting a real "dish the dirt" biography on Mommy Dearest. I will be very surprised if there is anything in the book, we don't already know.
Thank you for this review, I may be wrong in what I have said. Guess I'll have to wait and see.
Lisa would have never used this book to trash a member of her family. For how much a relationship can be hard, a mother is always a mother. We'll see..
I think you are. I’m so glad (and sad) that Lisa left us with her memoir about her life (with Elvis) and after. ❤
@@elvis78ale Unfortunately Priscilla was not the average mother.
@@theresesouthworth227 absolutely
Where have you been a nuclear bomb? Stop.
A headline that is OTT and nothing new being said. Pity.
Hiluscinating and dying, interesting coment… nuclear bomb huh?
Sorry but I think it’s full of self pity …Elvis for Ever xxx
Lisa was like 9 years old when Elvis died. How much can she recollect?
Read the book
It's not so much a quantity thing as a quality thing, as far as her recollections of Elvis. And this covers her life (or as much as she'd gotten to before she passed), not just her first 9 years.
Many remember alot...some not much! I remember being in the pram & thinking "im glad i dont have to walk yet"! I walked at 11 months...LM probably remembered more coz she was split between her parents...an she said it was alwaus exciting at her dads ❤
I have wondered the same thing, but when I started thinking about my own childhood (and I didn't have a world famous father!) I did remember quite a lot, and started writing it down a few years ago (I am now 76). The more I recalled, the more memories came to mind, so I guess with a remarkable childhood, a lot would stick. It is Lisa's interpretation that concerned me when I read that she said she hated the Memphis mafia guys. No kid under 10 could possibly understand the relationship her father had with those guys who he relied on for support throughout his adult life. I am curious to see what she says in this book.
Children remember extremely well from the age of 5. Her perspective would've been a child's one but she also grew up and was able to process much of what she saw
They did not need oprahs endorsement on that book that is annoyance and upsetting from the nys priscillas home state terrible mob.

Lisa Marie was 9 when Elvis passed. Of course she knew her father! I have memories from the age of 2. It's not all about Elvis at all. It's about Lisa's life.
this book is about lisa with mentions of elvis and obviously she knows her dad he died when she was 9 people remember things from their childhood go do something else with your life that doesn’t revolve around hating on lisa marie
This is Lisa Marie’s story.
@thomaspetersen9991 I lost my little brother when I was 4 and a 1/2 years and I remember him.
A former live-in boyfriend of Priscilla, Michael Edwards who moved in a few months after Elvis's death, stated in his book, Priscilla Elvis and Me how he became sexually attracted to Lisa at age 13 years. One night he went to Lisa's bedroom and lifted the corner of her blanket and stared at her. The following morning Priscilla was cold towards him in the kitchen as Lisa had told her what had happened the previous night. Even though he had repeated that Priscilla still allowed him to live with them for more than 2 years. Lisa said in interviews including David Letterman, how he would come drunk at night to her room and be inappropriate. In an interview about Where No One Stands Alone Lisa said that she was never protected since age of 9. Elvis died when she was 9.
Her book is about her life which includes her father who she knew adored her, her teens, marriages, etc. Priscilla's 2 books are just about her and Elvis excluding all the live-in boyfriends she had after Elvis.
Your perfect mother and woman, Priscilla lived 7 years with this monster, had many other live-in boyfriends including Marco Garibaldi with whom she has a son and lived 22 years with him(longer than with Elvis) In an interview with Barbara Walters she stated that he treated her beter than what Elvis had done. Now suddenly Elvis is the love of her life and she demanded to be buried at Graceland. Oh yes. What a role model as a mother and an ex wife.
This is not the story of Elvis written by his daughter...this is Lisa's story. Obviously she will also talk about her dad and their relationship. It's quite simple 😂
i’m gagged we love lisa!!!
