Priscilla Presley's second memoir, 'Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis - A Memoir' has been released in various languages. This book is the follow-up to her 'Elvis and Me' memoir.
Description: The long-awaited memoir by Priscilla Presley chronicling her difficult, inspiring journey beyond the walls of Graceland and behind the elegant image the world sees.
Priscilla Presley’s divorce from Elvis left his fans incredulous. How could she leave the man every woman wanted? From the outside, life in Elvis’s mansion looked glamorous and enviable, and in many respects, it was. But inside the mansion, her husband was constantly surrounded by a male entourage while at the gates, lines of beautiful women waited hopefully for an audience with the King.
From the time she was seventeen years old, that life was all Priscilla had known. During her ten years with Elvis, it became painfully apparent that she had no idea who she was outside Elvis’s world. The only way to find herself was to leave that world and seek a new life of her own, because leaving was the only way to survive, for herself and for her daughter.
'Softly, As I Leave You', is the deeply personal story of what Priscilla lost and what she found when she walked away from the man she loved. Despite the legal separation, their love for one another transformed into a touching and tender dynamic that endured until Elvis’s untimely death four years later.
Shattered by Elvis’s passing, she had to reinvent herself a second time as the single mother of a talented, often headstrong daughter who never really recovered from her father’s death. Priscilla’s dedication to motherhood was enriched by the birth of her second child, and she gradually found her footing as a businesswoman, actress, designer, and legislative advocate. She transformed Graceland into an international destination and helped guide the development of Elvis Presley Enterprises.
But the unexpected, shattering loss of three immediate family members years later brought Priscilla to her knees. She shares her journey with a quiet dignity that will comfort and reassure anyone who has suffered – and survived – seemingly unbearable loss.
A passionate, compassionate, and inspiring story of finding your place in the world, 'Softly, As I Leave You', is a sweet Southern melody that will take the reader with Priscilla on her long road home.

If You're Looking For Trouble
A federal judge sentenced Lisa Jeanine Findley, 54, of Kimberling City, Missouri, to 57 months in prison for orchestrating an elaborate fraud scheme targeting Elvis Presley's iconic Memphis estate. U.S. District Judge John T. Fowlkes, Jr., also imposed three years of supervised release following the prison term.
The fraud unraveled when the fake company scheduled an auction of the historic property. Riley Keough, Lisa Marie Presley's daughter, successfully challenged the sale in Tennessee court, arguing the company was fraudulent. When no one appeared to defend the claims, a judge blocked the sale and federal authorities launched an investigation.
Court documents revealed Findley's sophisticated tactics, which included creating multiple false identities and email accounts, forging loan documents and affidavits, publishing fraudulent foreclosure notices in Memphis newspapers, and filing false documentation with county offices. When investigators closed in, she attempted to blame fictional perpetrators, including communications claiming a "Nigerian identity thief" and later someone from Belize was responsible.
Federal prosecutors built their mail fraud case around evidence that Findley mailed fraudulent creditor claims from Missouri to Presley family business managers in California. Her arrest occurred on August 16, 2024, exactly 47 years after Elvis Presley's death.
Findley pleaded guilty to mail fraud in February as part of a plea agreement that dismissed the aggravated identity theft charge. The case highlights vulnerabilities facing high-profile estates and sends a message that federal authorities will aggressively prosecute sophisticated fraud schemes targeting prominent properties.
