description -
Singing Lessons is Judy Collins's life statement, complete with stories of her childhood, the music industry, her marriage to a man she had been living with for 17 years, her trips to Vietnam and Bosnia, and her night in the Lincoln bedroom. With rare candor and the insight her fans have always glimpsed in her lyrics, she looks back on a rich and extraordinary life -- full of both successes and failures -- with sorrow, joy, and wisdom. Chapters are separated by mediations on death and rebirth she wrote in the period after her son's suicide.
