Product Description Dazed by grief over the sudden death of her famous father, the young girl is whisked from her life in America to the obscurity of a comfortable exile in Scandinavia. It is for her own safety that she must assume a new identity until she comes of age to take her rightful place as the sole heir of a huge estate.
I, Lisa Marie is the intimate and personal account of a young woman's quest to reclaim her name and heritage, while being blocked at every turn. For years, mystery surrounded Elvis Presley's young daughter and sole heir-who seemed to disappear from public view following the famous singer's death. Then gradually, pictures began to appear of a young woman claiming to be Lisa Marie. Her questionable antics, and a circus-like marriage to controversial entertainment legend and paparazzi favorite, Michael Jackson, led millions of loyal fans of the late Elvis to question that this person could be his real daughter.
Finally, for the first time in her own words, the truth is revealed in this story of the strange odyssey of the real Lisa Marie. She shares the poignant memories of her early childhood years as the center of her famous fathers affection.
In this book, Lisa Marie answers many of the vexing questions that have troubled Elvis fans for years. She candidly faces the rumors that Elvis is still alive, and that the famed music icon actually fathered other children, offspring who would be her siblings. The real Lisa Marie wants only a simple outcome, and the chance to introduce herself and her children to what is left of the circle of friends and family and the millions of devoted Elvis Presley Fans.

| Customer Reviews: This book was awesome August 15, 2006 Sequin Queen (Connecticut) 3 out of 8 found this review helpful
I only saw this book offered once for sale. It was in a full-page ad in a tabloid during 1998. I was heartbroken I didn't have the money to purchase the book back then, and I finally obtained it recently -- thanks to Amazon.com. It is an easy read - a book you simply cannot put down.
I don't understand why people are so disbelieving about this young woman and her plight to be reinstated back into her own family. With Elvis' vast wealth, how is it not even remotely possible that Lisa Marie was transported to Sweden? Elvis had withstood all sorts of threats, and no doubt, he received many threats with regard to the potential kidnapping and harming of his beloved daughter. Of course he would wish to tuck her away, out of sight, in order to keep her from danger. It doesn't sound very far-fetched to me.
Lisa Johansen knows way too much, in terms of tiny, minute details, for her book not to be based upon fact. While everybody is entitled to their own opinions, I cannot imagine anybody would go to such lengths to want to go to the bother of writing such a book, let alone being able to compile such a manuscript.
I HIGHLY recommend this book and I have Amazon.com to thank.

This book is crap December 18, 2005 Heather English 8 out of 11 found this review helpful
Its amazing the nutjobs out their as this author is. The fbi arrested her can't really remember the exact charges but I assume it was for identity theft or something similar. Just look at this mental case's website (I think by now it has been taken down) but the person that you see in that website looks nothing like Elvis Presley or Priscilla Presley, just has a nutty tale that is so out there how on earth could it be true?? Maybe Lisa Johansen should get together with that doctor that claimed in 2003 that he was treating Elvis, saying he was alive and living in Missouri. That doctor was also arrested for fraud. This book isnt worth the paper its printed on don't be fooled
