No remedy for love

Boyd, Liona, (author.).

Few people have lived such a whirlwind, romantic, international life as Liona Boyd. She performed all over North America with Gordon Lightfoot, serenaded dozens of heads of state, and dated Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau (Pierre, that is). But her story didn't end there. In a new memoir, Liona details her 2004 divorce and the roller coaster ride that followed. Not long after the breakup of her marriage, she was struck by a debilitating diagnosis and lost her ability to perform. After six years spent relearning and rebuilding, in 2011 she returned to live in Canada and create five new albums as a singer, composer, and (once again) guitarist. Liona recounts her love affairs, her health battles, her spiritual journeys, her personal and musical struggles, and her greatest triumphs. Writing with candour and passion, she gives her fans a behind-the-scenes tour of her world.

Summary

No Remedy for Love


A new memoir from internationally renowned musician Liona Boyd. Few people's lives are as romantic and adventurous as Liona Boyd's has been. She has performed around the world, sold millions of albums, won five Juno awards, serenaded numerous heads of state, and, for eight years, dated Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Continuing her story in a new memoir, Liona recounts how she lost her ability to perform, details her divorce, and chronicles the emotional roller-coaster ride that followed. After six years of searching for answers, reinventing her technique, and learning to sing, she returned to Canada and a new career, creating five new albums as a singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Liona shares the joys of composing and recording her own music and her cast of international friends, who include singer and actress Olivia Newton-John and her friend and pen pal of over thirty years, HRH Prince Philip. Liona reveals her love affairs, spiritual journeys, personal and musical struggles, and greatest triumphs. Writing with candour and passion, she gives a behind-the-scenes tour of her fascinating world.
