LIFE AND HOW TO LIVE IT by Chaz Holesworth is an emotional story of resilience and a story about the impact cultural heroes have on a boy who is doing his best to survive. Charlie had a father on heroin, a mother who couldn't stand up for herself and a sad sister who stole yo-yos. He had a Christian education, anxiety and depression, an active imagination and a love for R.E.M., which grew to include Nirvana, Queen, Tori Amos and tapes hidden inside the mattress to protect them from judgement. He shares his job at the paper, friendships, self-harm, sex, anger, girlfriends and finding emotional connection. Holesworth has written an open and very vulnerable memoir addressing faith, racism, poverty, injustice, homophobia, drugs and mental health.
