The stage, the lights, the heart-pounding sound-then and there, teenage Laurie knew she was made for music. But could she make it with music? Her Wisconsin farm town barely had one stoplight, much less a spotlight big enough to shine on her larger-than-life dreams. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the '80s rock bars of Minneapolis to the bustling music scene of Austin and New York City's Broadway in the '90s, Laurie's determination to follow her dreams led her down dark alleys and again into the spotlight. Through it all, her parent's hopes and fears shaped her path, guiding her home more than once. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut the meaning of home changes as the years go by. When a series of losses shakes the foundation of Laurie's life, she returns to the music - where she's always found solace - perhaps now she's ready to find herself there too.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 422\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 26, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45670161514540,"sku":"9781079578584","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/0954\/5772\/files\/B432rEpWrf9781079578584.webp?v=1781666277","url":"https:\/\/smartsupplydeals.com\/products\/somewhere-in-the-music-ill-find-me-a-memoir-paperback","provider":"Smart supply deals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
