About this listen
Raised amidst the harsh realities of Philadelphia’s slums, Chaz’s childhood was shaped by the stark contrast between a heroin-addicted father and a born-again Christian mother. Surrounded by gangs, poverty, and chaos, Chaz faced unthinkable challenges at a young age. This first volume delves into his upbringing, capturing moments of heartache, survival, and an unyielding desire to rise above his circumstances.
Amid the turmoil, Chaz found solace in music, drawing strength from the poignant lyrics of R.E.M. and the emotional resonance of Tori Amos. Music became more than a passion—it was a lifeline that carried him through his darkest days. Alongside the healing power of music, Chaz found light in the form of friendships that blossomed into an unbreakable family of choice.
With an unflinching honesty, Life and How to Live It explores the raw, often painful truths of Chaz’s past while celebrating the resilience of the human spirit. Heartbreaking yet hopeful, this memoir offers a profound message: no matter how dire the circumstances, there is a way to overcome, persevere, and find meaning in life.
Whether you’ve faced similar struggles or simply seek an inspiring tale of survival, this book will resonate deeply and remind readers of the power of hope, courage, and community. Chaz’s story is a testament to the strength of the human soul and a call to rise above life’s challenges, no matter how insurmountable they may seem.
Discover how Chaz began his transformative journey in this unforgettable first volume—and find inspiration to begin your own.
