“This has been one of the most profound experiences I’ve had. Learning to hold joy and suffering and indifference and hope simultaneously.”
My plan for this memoir was to listen to the audiobook, narrated by Julia Roberts and Riley Keough. Then while at a bookstore I saw the cover and the photos inside. I bought the book, started it, and finished it the next day. This is a heartbreaking story and also a story filled with love. Well worth the time it takes to read… even twice. The audiobook is still on hold via my library so I plan to listen too. Riley does a great job added to her mom’s words. The different font styles made it easy to know who was speaking. Addiction, grief, family, trauma, and love are major themes of this memoir drafted by Lisa Marie Presley and finished by her eldest daughter Riley Keough.
