Forty years after her first memoir, Elvis and Me , revolutionized the modern-day lore surrounding the King of Rock & Roll and his young bride, Priscilla Presley has released a new book that picks up where her last one left off.
In Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis , the actress and author known mononymously as Priscilla delves into the life she forged for herself in the decades after she met Elvis at age 14, married him at age 21, and left the music legend in 1972. The new book, released Tuesday, is filled with heartache and loss. It follows the once deeply enigmatic first lady of Graceland from Memphis to Hollywood, through several subsequent relationships, and into the depths of her sorrow over the 2023 loss of her daughter Lisa Marie , her only child with Elvis .
