Acclaimed music and culture journalist Rachel Brodsky released her debut book titled Lessons & Lace, a Stevie Nicks biography via Harmony/Penguin Random House. Revered for meticulous reporting and unparalleled creativity throughout Rachel’s career, Lessons & Lace is a completely unique take on a biography. Structured according to different themes — rather than chronologically — each chapter centers on a different life lesson that Stevie has absorbed and later dispensed wisdom on.
Rachel will celebrate the release with an in-store book release event at Book Soup in Los Angeles today, moderated by Los Angeles Times Pop Critic, Mikael Wood. She will also appear at P&T Knitwear in NYC on Sept 17, moderated by Rolling Stone Senior Journalist, Angie Martoccio. Stay tuned for additional book tour appearances.
Stevie Nicks is rock’s own Patron Saint of Lessons Learned. But in order to reach this point she had to endure a world that underestimated, misunderstood, dismissed, and mocked her. She battled sexist narratives, helped popularize a struggling mid-level rock band, became a successful solo act, and beat addiction, all while staying connected to her creativity, authenticity, and mysticism. Drawing from archival first-person interviews and insights from people in Stevie Nicks’ world, Lessons & Lace chronicles her remarkable story with notable quotes to inspire hard-learned, life-changing lessons.
Illustrated with gorgeous full-color line drawings, Lessons & Lace is a tribute to a woman, style icon, prolific writer, and unapologetic romantic who chases happiness and values the space to honestly and authentically be herself. Through Stevie’s life and lessons, you’ll feel encouraged to embrace your own wild (and perhaps witchy) heart.
