In this episode of the Rock is Lit Season 4 Reading Series, host Christy Alexander Hallberg celebrates the third birthday of her novel, ‘Searching for Jimmy Page’. She delves into the evocative imagery and central characters that drive the novel, while reflecting on the three previous Rock is Lit episodes centered on Led Zeppelin and ‘Searching for Jimmy Page’. Join Christy as she revisits the poignant journey of Luna Kane, an 18-year-old on a quest to uncover her deceased mother’s secrets.

Set in the winter of 1988, ‘Searching for Jimmy Page’ follows Luna from her family’s farm in eastern North Carolina to England to search for the enigmatic guitarist of Led Zeppelin, the man her mother, Claudia, hinted may be her father.
