“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.”
