FROM HERE TO THE GREAT UNKNOWN A Memoir

Julia Roberts narrates the late Lisa Marie Presley's writing, and Presley's daughter, the actor Riley Keough, shares her own memories of her mother. Clips of interviews with Presley are interspersed throughout this incredible listening experience. Elvis Presley's only child enlisted her daughter to help tell her story just one month before she died. Keough's voice is beautiful--whisper-soft and at times hollow with sadness--as she shares an intimate look at her mother's life. Roberts does a fantastic job capturing the essence of Presley's writing, her voice bright and excited while describing the fun Presley had as a child at Graceland before Elvis died. Roberts provides a clear, easy-to-follow voice that contrasts with Presley's fast, sometimes slurred words, which can be difficult to discern.
