Softly as I leave you

life after Elvis
Priscilla Beaulieu Presley ; with Mary Jane Ross
Book - 2025

"Since first publishing her best-selling memoir, "Elvis and Me," in 1985, life hasn't slowed down a wink for Priscilla Presley. In addition to launching new business ventures and helping turn Graceland into one of the nation's most popular tourist attractions, she's starred in a number of film and TV shows, produced several more, and dedicated time and energy to a number of charitable endeavors, including the Dream Foundation. However, that hasn't stopped Hollywood from releasing a number of films (most recently, Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis" in 2022 and Sofia Coppola's "Priscilla" in 2023) seeking to capitalize on the complicated relationship she shared with her ex-husband. Priscilla has mostly held her tongue up to this point--but now she wants to regain control of her own narrative. In this new memoir, Priscilla Presley seizes her last chance to speak to Elvis fans about lingering questions regarding his legacy and everything that's happened to her since the first book published. She reveals never-before-shared behind-the-scenes truths in these pages, including Elvis' trials and tribulations in Hollywood; his desire to turn Graceland into a sanctuary and away from his public role and his grueling last days; the devastating impact of the death of her mother-in-law; Elvis's affair with Ann-Margret and its aftermath; among others. She also dives into the lives of their children and grandchildren, including her daughter's marriage to Michael Jackson, as well as her tragic addictions and death; the heartbreaking loss of her grandson; the role Scientology played in the family's life and why she left it; her thoughts on current films depicting the life she shared with Elvis; and much, much more. Packed with revelations and written in riveting prose, Priscilla's new memoir will be the definitive statement on her extraordinary life--and it will shed new light on one of the most famous legacies in modern entertainment history"--
