Life and How to Live It: Near Wild Heaven continues Chaz Holesworth’s memoir series with an intimate look at adolescence, first love, and the quiet rebellion of self-discovery. Growing up in a rigid, fear-based religious environment, Holesworth navigates emotional isolation as music, longing, and forbidden curiosity begin to reshape how he understands himself and the world around him.
Honest and reflective, this volume captures the tension of breaking away from inherited beliefs while still searching for belonging. Through friendship, art, and moments of fragile courage, Near Wild Heaven speaks to anyone who has struggled to outgrow their past and claim a life defined on their own terms.
