Women are being acknowledged more and more for their strength, wisdom and life's experiences. We would like to celebrate you as a woman and wife and your remarkable journey through life. It would be an honor for us to have you as a part of our book project, The Light Behind the Star.
There are numerous sensational accounts of 'rock stars' and their infamy, but there are no tributes to the wives who keep balance in their families' private lives while their mates lead very public lives on stage. In a society where musicians are put on a pedestal, biographies centered on famous people have frequently been best sellers. Who are their pillars of strength? Who is The Light Behind the Star?
Through a question and answer format, we will create a relaxed environment where the voices of the women express many layers of their individuality. The interview will define their intellect, aspirations, achievements, motivations as well as the story of their relationship with both their husband and children. The Light Behind the Star is an exploration and celebration of the story of these remarkable women. It is neither an expose« nor an intrusion into their hard-won privacy, but rather an intimate glimpse in a world of uncommon circumstances. The authors have been working in the entertainment industry for the past several years and are continually inspired when we come across amazing women, like you, and the way you interact with your family and your husband's career. We have discovered there has been nothing like this done before, a book which shines a light on musician's wives.
The Light Behind the Star also features the photography of Baron Wolman, acclaimed photo documentarian of music in the 60's and early 70's, Rolling Stone magazine's first chief photographer. His candid, elegant images of these women will accompany each interview.
