In Search of The Music Man Charity Whan

In her debut chapbook, Charity Whan presents an often heartbreaking, but ultimately uplifting, coming of age story told through the medium of poetry. With poems written between the ages of 12 and 37, this collection is a journey to find love, a journey to find self, and a journey to find The Music Man, that elusive being who can make us dance, even when "life doesn't love us." Dealing with difficult topics such as love, neglect, depression, parental dynamics, broken relationships, and growing up without a real sense of what love is, In Search of The Music Man is more than just a book of love poetry. It is a peek into the small heart of a child without a father's presence, a window into the frantic life of a girl without direction, and a glimpse into a woman's life finally filled with love and music.
