Acclaimed music journalist Rachel Brodsky has announced the release of her debut book, Lessons & Lace: Everything I've Learned About Dreams, Heartbreak, and Magic I Learned From Stevie Nicks, set for September 15 via Harmony/Penguin Random House.

The book, structured thematically rather than chronologically, explores key life lessons Stevie Nicks has imparted throughout her career, drawing on archival interviews and insights from those close to her.

A book release event will take place on September 17 at P&T Knitwear in New York City, moderated by Rolling Stone Senior Journalist Angie Martoccio.

The event follows a previously announced in-store appearance at Book Soup in Los Angeles on September 15—release day—moderated by Los Angeles Times Pop Critic Mikael Wood.

Brodsky shares, "Very few artists have maintained their cultural relevance and appealed to multiple generations like Stevie Nicks." She adds, "That is why I love Stevie.

She is as layered in meaning as her most memorable songs.

Like the book’s namesake, "Leather and Lace," Stevie is soft and hard, romantic and practical, sensual and sensible.

I genuinely hope readers walk away feeling inspired to live their lives with Stevie-style authenticity, bravery, and truth." Illustrated with full-color line drawings, Lessons & Lace is a tribute to Stevie Nicks as a style icon, prolific writer, and unapologetic romantic who values authenticity and self-expression.

The book includes notable quotes and reflects on Stevie’s journey through sexism, addiction, and creative resilience, including her relationship with Tom Petty.

BraveWords Records, which represents artists including Alcatrazz, The Chris Slade Timeline, Paul Di’Anno’s Warhorse, and Lillian Axe, is also mentioned in the announcement.
