Welcome to EP Fan Archive’s chapter-by-chapter deep dive into From Here to the Great Unknown, the posthumous memoir by Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough.


In this episode, we explore Chapter 3: The Wall — a raw, heartbreaking look at how Lisa responded to the death of her father, Elvis Presley. From building a literal wall around her home to emotionally shutting out the world, this chapter reveals the deep grief, abandonment, and trauma Lisa carried from childhood into adulthood.


We dive into:

• Her emotional disconnect from Priscilla Presley

• How Scientology told her grief was “weakness”

• Her spiral into rebellion and isolation

• What Riley Keough helps us understand about her mother’s pain

• The psychology behind childhood trauma and attachment wounds

• Why fame couldn’t protect Lisa from emotional devastation


⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of childhood trauma, parental loss, grief, emotional neglect, and addiction. Please take care while listening.
