<p>Let Love Rule</p>
<p>THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER</p>
<p>“I see my story as a suite of songs that have a magical connection.”</p>
<p>Let Love Rule is a work of deep reflection. Lenny Kravitz looks back at his life with candor, self-scrutiny, and humor.</p>
<p>“My life is all about opposites,” he writes. “Black and white. Jewish and Christian. The Jackson 5 and Led Zeppelin. I accepted my Gemini soul. I owned it. I adored it. Yins and yangs mingled in various parts of my heart and mind, giving me balance and fueling my curiosity and comfort.”</p>
<p>Let Love Rule covers a vast canvas stretching from Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant, Los Angeles’s Baldwin Hills and Beverly Hills, and finally to France, England, and Germany.</p>
<p>It’s the story of a wildly creative kid who, despite tough struggles at school and extreme tension at home, finds salvation in music.</p>
<p>We see him grow as a musician and ultimately become a master songwriter, producer, and performer. We also see Lenny’s spiritual growth―and the powerful way in which spirit informs his music.</p>
<p>The cast of characters surrounding Lenny is extraordinary: his father, Sy, a high-powered news executive; his mother, Roxie Roker, a television star; and Lisa Bonet, the young actress who becomes his muse.</p>
<p>The central character, of course, is Lenny, who, despite his great aspirational energy, turns down record deal after record deal until he finds his true voice.</p>
<p>The creation of that voice, the same voice that is able to declare “Let Love Rule” to an international audience, is the very heart of this story.</p>
<p>“Whether recording, performing, or writing a book,” says Lenny, “my art is about listening to the inspiration inside and then sharing it with people. Art must bring the world closer together.”</p>
