Lessons & Lace by Rachel Brodsky

LESSONS & LACE

Rachel Brodsky

Immerse yourself in Stevie Nicks's incredible life to learn invaluable pearls of wisdom from this portrait of one of today’s most resilient music icons.

"Just dance. This will pass. Love will find a way. It always does."

Written by music journalist Rachel Brodsky and illustrated with gorgeous full-color line drawings, Lessons & Lace draws on Stevie’s remarkable story and notable quotes to inspire life-changing lessons, delivered with a unique style of truth-telling that's both down to earth and filled with otherworldly vision.

Today, 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. Now, she is a universally beloved icon and mentor, but she didn’t get here without a lot of hard looks in the mirror.

Including years’ worth of archival interviews and insights from people in Stevie’s world, this 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.
