Lisa passed away aged 54 in January last year.
So her daughter Riley Keough has helped finish off the memoir by listening to tapes that Lisa had left behind.
In From Here to the Great Unknown, Lisa’s relationship with Michael Jackson, her son Benjamin and her dad Elvis’ death, and her addiction are mentioned.
Here are some bombshells that she has disclosed in the book…
1. Michael Jackson was a virgin when they got together

Lisa and Michel got together in 1994, after her split from first husband Danny Keough.
A spark was ignited after a trip to Las Vegas, where Michael declared his feelings towards her.
Writing about their relationship in the book, Lisa claimed: “He told me he was still a virgin.
“I think he had kissed Tatum O’Neal, and he’d had a thing with Brooke Shields, which hadn’t been physical apart from a kiss.
“He said Madonna had tried to hook up with him once, too, but nothing happened.
“I was terrified because I didn’t want to make the wrong move.”
The pair were married between 1994 and 1996.
Lisa was 25 at the time and Michael was 10 years older than her.
2. Lisa kept her dead son’s body on dry ice for months

Lisa’s son Benjamin, who she shared with her ex husband Danny Keough, died on July 12 2020.
He was just 27-years-old.
In her memoir she explained that she kept his body at 55 degrees at their home in Los Angeles.
Her daughter Riley wrote that it allowed her mom to “have ample time to say goodbye to him, the same way she’d done with her dad”.
Lisa wrote: “Having my dad in the house after he died was incredibly helpful because I could go and spend time with him and talk to him.”
The reason that he was there for so long was because she was trying to choose where she wanted to bury him – either Graceland or Hawaii.
She wrote: “I got so used to him, caring for him and keeping him there. I think it would scare the living f***ing p*** out of anybody else to have their son there like that.
“But not me.”
Lisa lost her dad Elvis when she was just nine, back in 1977.
3. Her addiction

After welcoming her twin daughters Finley and Harper – who she shares with Michael Lockwood – into the world in 2008, her drug addiction hit an all time low.
Lisa confessed to doing 80 pills a day and felt that her “whole life had blown up”.
Recalling getting help, Ben drove her from Nashville to LA so that she could carry on taking drugs.
Lisa wrote: “We drove because I wanted to do cocaine the whole time and couldn’t if I was on an airplane.
“I didn’t think I could even get through airport security.”
4. Lisa sensed that her dad Elvis would die

The King of Rock and Roll Elvis died aged 42 on August 16 1977, after suffering a heart attack.
In the book Lisa confessed: “I wrote a poem with the line, ‘I hope my daddy doesn’t die’.”
Recalling the moment she found out he was no longer alive, she wrote: “My life as I knew it was completely over.”
5. Sexual abuse claims

Lisa also wrote about what her mom Priscilla’s boyfriend actor Michael Edwards used to do to her from the age of 10.
Recalling what happened, Lisa wrote: “He said he was going to teach me what was going to happen when I got older.
“He was putting his hand on my chest and saying a man’s going to touch here, then he put his hand between my legs and he said they’re going to touch you here.”
When he was called out on his behavior by Lisa’s mom, she said that he replied: ‘In Europe that’s how they teach the kids, so that’s what I was doing’.”
She alleges that he would also “touch” and “spank” her.
Lisa wrote: “I was eleven, twelve, thirteen.”
The Sun US have attempted to reach Michael for comment.
