Lisa Marie Presley: Her life of loss and searching for love

Lisa Marie Presley was born to rock royalty, but this could not protect her from heart-wrenching loss. Her first great tragedy, the premature death of her beloved father when she was just nine years old, heralded a life of failed marriages, weight struggles, substance abuse and depression. Despite this, she released three albums, one of which went gold and prompted Rolling Stone to comment that “the King of Rock’s daughter has a chance of becoming her own Rock Queen.” Her greatest joy, her children, were to bring heartache and tragedy, and even her death gave rise to controversy. Elvis song titles name each chapter, and lyrics from the song provide a framework for the chapter content. This insightful and succinct biography begins with her parents' meeting in Germany and follows her tumultuous life from a fractured childhood through multiple marriages, creative outpourings, her children, friendship with royalty, country life in an English Manor House, financial difficulties, and her delight in Baz Luhrmann's Elvis movie, through to the ultimate tragedies of her cause of death and the bitter family conflict that resulted from her will. Lisa Marie was more than "just Elvis Presley's daughter". She was a passionate woman, artist and mother who received blow after blow and kept standing up again. This book includes links to online resources and a comprehensive index. The second edition corrects two errors and in doing so provides a little extra information that became public subsequent to the first publishing.
