A Broken People's Playlist

A Broken People's Playlist is a a collection of short stories written by Chimeka Garricks, each story flows into the other easily. From its poignant beginning in “Lost Stars” a love story and it’s fleeting, transient nature to the gritty, raw musical prose captured in “In The City”, a tale of survival set in the alleyways of the waterside. A Broken People’s Playlist is a mosaic of stories about living, loving and hurting through very familiar sounds, in very familiar ways and finding healing in the most unlikely places.
