"Searching For Jimmy Page"/Christy Alexander Hallberg [Episode 30]
b'"Searching For Jimmy Page" is the fictional story of Luna Kane. The unraveling of eighteen-year-old Luna\\u2019s haunted past begins in the winter of 1988, when her dying great-grandfather, a self-proclaimed faith healer, claims he hears phantom owls crying in the night. \\u201cThem owls, like music. Can you hear the music?\\u201d he implores her in his final moments, triggering Luna\\u2019s repressed memory of her dead mother\\u2019s obsession with Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin\\u2019s legendary guitar wizard. Desperate to learn the truth about her mother\\u2019s suicide, to tease fact from family lore in order to weave her own personal narrative, Luna embarks on a pilgrimage from her family\\u2019s farm in the pines of eastern North Carolina to England, to search for the man whose music her mother held sacred, Jimmy Page.
