About the Book:
Musical Chairs
All Thing That Matter Press (2009)
ISBN: 13: 9780984259427
After suffering a series of severe panic attacks, Jen begins to explore her past. In doing so, she becomes enamored by the mysterious nature of her family's history. She discovers a pattern of mental health diagnoses and searches to define the cusp between her '90s working-class childhood and the trouble of adapting to a comfortable life in the suburbs.
Jen attempts to reconcile with her past and the family she ran away from at age fifteen. With humor and surprising candor, she reflects upon years of strip-dancing, alcoholism, and estrangement while maintaining impressive narrative control. This story is about identity, class, family ties, and the elusive nature of mental illness.
