Inhalt:
Virginia Grohl, mother of Dave Grohl, had not seen any of it coming. Not the arenas of screaming fans, not Nirvana or the Foo Fighters, not the induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and certainly not her son, Dave, performing with Sir Paul McCartney a The White House.

Virginia often wondered about the mystical force that urges some of us to listen, to play, to surround ourselves with music. She wanted to talk about it with the other mothers whose sons and daughters were sharing stage with Dave, and she decided to seek them out wherever they were. So began a two-year odyssey, where she had conversations with such women from all over the world as Verna Griflin, Dr. Dre's mother, Carolyn Williams, Pharell William's mother, Janis Winehouse, Amdy Winehouse's mother, Patsy Noah, Adam Levine's mother, Donna Haim, mother to the Haim sisters and Hester Diamond, Mike D of The Beastie Boys' mother, to name just a few.

"From cradle to stage" will appeal to mothers everywhere, and to music lovers, it's the ultimate backstage pass for anyone who has wondered what it's like to be on the inside ... looking out at a packed arena.
