Everything in the Presley household was private, a security issue, and never to be discussed with outsiders. Writing a detailed memoir felt like a violation of that code. Yet Riley pushed through because she knew exactly who her mother was: someone uncomfortably honest, who wanted people to understand her and relate to her experiences with grief and addiction. The book took roughly a year from start to finish.
