For our April pick, I've chosen From Here to the Great Unknown, by Lisa Marie Presley & Riley Keough. I've always been fascinated with the life of Elvis. After seeing both the Baz Luhrmann film AND Riley in Daisy Jones & The Six, I knew I needed to read this one someday. Get ready to get EMOTIONAL. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/204905217-from-here-to-the-great-unknown

"However sad you are expecting 'From Here to the Great Unknown: A Memoir' will be, take heed: it’s sadder than that. This new volume, started by Lisa Marie Presley before her 2022 death and completed recently by daughter Riley Keough, falls squarely into the realm of autobio-tragedy — bracingly looking at how depression and addiction issues repeat themselves generationally, with almost none of the sentimentalized overlay you might expect a book of this kind to impose. 'I wondered how many times a heart can break,' Keough writes near the end. As a reader, you may have already been keeping some kind of mental score." - Chris Willman, Variety
