For more on Lisa Marie Presley’s moving memoir, pick up the latest issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday, or subscribehere.“Because my mother was Elvis Presley’s daughter, she was constantly talked about, argued over and dissected,” Riley told PEOPLE in an exclusive email interview, for a cover story in this week’s print issue.
“What she wanted to do in her memoir, and what I hope I’ve done in finishing it for her, is to go beneath the magazine headline idea of her and reveals the core of who she was. To turn her into a three-dimensional human being: the best mother, a wild child, a fierce friend, an underrated artist, frank, funny, traumatized, joyous, grieving, everything that she was throughout her remarkable life. I want to give voice to my mother in a way that eluded her while she was alive.”
The audiobook, in which Riley will narrate her own sections, will also feature never-before-heard selections from Lisa Marie’s tape recordings.
