SUMMARY:I Can’t Remember If I Cried: Rock Widows on Life\, Love and Legac
 y
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThe stories of rock musicians who die young are the thing o
 f lore and legend. Accidents\, drug overdoses\, plane crashes—all have t
 aken the lives of male rock stars still in their primes. But what became o
 f their widowed brides? How did they survive a loss so great?\n\nFormer De
 xter resident Lori Tucker-Sullivan spent seven years locating and intervie
 wing the widows of her favorite rock stars after the death of her husband 
 Kevin in 2010. Previous to her life as an author\, Lori was known as part 
 of the family that renovated the Henes farmstead in Dexter Township. Named
  one of the Library Journal’s Best Nonfiction of 2024\, I Can't Remembe
 r if I Cried: Rock Widows on Life\, Love and Legacy\, chronicles fourteen 
 widows of Lori's favorite rock stars and what they taught her (and can tea
 ch all of us) about grief. Though she studied music journalism in college\
 , she took a different path\, including purchasing the abandoned farmhouse
  in Dexter. After Kevin's passing\, she knew that returning to music writi
 ng would provide a way forward. Writing the book allowed her to learn abou
 t the rock stars she'd have written of\, but now through the lens of the w
 omen who loved them. In this presentation\, Lori will speak about writing 
 the book\, share behind-the-scenes stories\, and discuss her full-circle p
 ath beyond grief to a life of creativity and wonder.\n\nAbout the presente
 r: Lori Tucker-Sullivan is a freelance writer and editor whose work has ap
 peared in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Modern Loss\, and Pas
 sages North. Her essays “Detroit\, 2015” and “Time\, Touch\, and a W

 death\, Lori has written of the widowhood experience at the blog The Widow
 ’s Apprenticeship. She is also a former bookselling professional who unt
 il recently served as Executive Director of the Independent Booksellers Co
 nsortium\, Inc. She lives in Detroit\, MI.\n\nThis program will be in the 
 Library’s lower-level meeting room. Registration is appreciated\, but no
