“Because my mother was Elvis Presley’s daughter, people were constantly talking about her, discussing her, dissecting her,” Riley told People.
‘What she wanted to do in her memoir, and what I hope I’ve done in finishing it for her, is go beyond the idea of the magazine headline and reveal the essence 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, outspoken, funny, traumatized, joyful, grieving – everything she was throughout her remarkable life.
‘I want to give my mother a voice in a way that eluded her while she was alive.’
