Life and How to Live It by Chaz Holesworth

An unapologetic and darkly humorous memoir with a hit parade of a soundtrack, Life and How to Live It by Chaz Holesworth reminds readers that life at any age is rarely easy. Raised in a home fractured by addiction, the dark side of faith, and a shocking lack of communication, the author escapes into music as his guiding light, letting it lead him through a painful adolescence. This raw coming-of-age story is his unvarnished plunge into memory – an anecdotal flood of emotional confessions, casual reviews of iconic albums, and frank accounts of youthful resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. Put together, this is a unique memoir that celebrates the healing value of music and the enduring potential for hope in any situation, told with harrowing honesty, but also inspiring levity.
