Summary of Max Wallace & Ian Halperin's Love & Death

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Kurt’s paternal grandfather, Leland Cobain, was said to have been closer to Kurt than even his own parents. Leland and his late wife, Iris, had moved in more than thirty years earlier when Kurt was just a young child. #2 Kurt’s grandfather, Leland, was a very different man after his father was killed in a sheriff’s office accident. He had become a changed man, and had quit alcohol completely. He was a respected citizen of Montesano. #3 In 1994, journalists and biographers descended on Aberdeen, Washington, seeking clues to help make sense of the suicide of the town’s most famous descendant. They believed that Kurt Cobain had inherited the suicide gene. #4 Cobain’s family moved to Aberdeen shortly after his birth from their rented house in nearby Hoquiam. His father, Don, worked as a mechanic at the local Chevron station to support the family while his mother, Wendy, took care of Kurt and his sister, Kim.
