Susan Lucci Previews Grief-Focused Memoir ‘La Lucci’ Ahead of Feb. 3 Release

She describes late-night writing that helped her process her husband's 2022 death.

Overview

  • Susan Lucci says she felt completely lost and isolated after Helmut Huber, her husband of 52 years, died in 2022 at age 84 following a stroke a month earlier.
  • In interview excerpts and in La Lucci, she writes that she is looking for joy again and finds it in work, travel, friends and time with family, especially her grandchildren.
  • Lucci explains that the book began taking shape in the middle of the night as ideas poured out, with many passages arriving from sleep.
  • La Lucci is due out Feb. 3 from Blackstone Publishing as a follow-up to her 2011 memoir All My Life.
  • The book recalls their long marriage, their two children, and Huber’s steadying presence, including his mantra, “After the rain, the sun she shines,” which she says still comforts her.
