A mother’s account of loss, faith, and music

Janet A. Pfaff writes about her daughter Kristen Pfaff, the Hole bassist, whose death from an accidental drug overdose came shortly after the recording of *Live Through This*. The account places that loss alongside the album’s release and commercial success, while centering the author’s experience of grief and the role her Christian faith played in helping her through it. Pfaff also frames the book as an effort to encourage readers to seek a faith of their own and describes her wish to connect with young people through her story.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in personal accounts of bereavement and family loss.
  • Readers interested in Kristen Pfaff, Hole, or the story surrounding *Live Through This*.
  • Readers exploring accounts of Christian faith as a source of support during grief.

Book overview

"Unfinished Rhapsody" is the story of my daughter, Kristen Pfaff, bass guitarist of Courtney Love's group "Hole". Kristen died of an accidental drug overdose after recording the album "Live Through This". It was released one month before Kristen died, and it went platinum two months later. My message is a message of hope - of how God offers peace, help, and sanity to an insane world. My message is also one of encouragement to others to discover their own faith, not that of someone else. I share how the Lord helped me through the most painful years of my life and gave me a voice to serve as a bridge to young people.
