The book is of two minds: It’s an unadorned, conversational memoir that’s more matter of fact than gossipy . . . And it’s a frank, almost unbearably heavy meditation on grief . . . Stunningly candid . . . Both women write gracefully about the unbearable, immovable heaviness of grief. Keough’s portrait of her mother in her final months is especially indelible

The Washington Post

Instead of tap dancing around the hard parts, we’re drilling into the bedrock . . . and these passages show how determined she [Lisa Marie] was to stand up to her demons

The New York Times

Thoroughly engrossing portrait of intergenerational sorrows

Variety

A truly wild, compelling tale

About getting dragged screaming out of the bathroom as she ran towards his body on the floor. About living in Los Angeles with her mother, getting sent to school after school, always kicked out, always in trouble. About her singular, lifelong relationship with Danny Keough, and about being married to Michael Jackson, and what they had in common. About motherhood. About deep addiction. About ever-present grief. Riley knew she had to fulfill her mother’s wish to reveal these memories, incandescent and painful, to the world.To make her mother known.This extraordinary book is composed of both Lisa Marie’s and Riley’s voices, a mother and daughter communicating across the chasm of life and death as they try to heal each other. Profoundly moving and deeply revealing, From Here to the Great Unknown is a book like no other – the last words of the only child of a true legend.
