About this listen

“I wasn’t even going to tell this story, but Violet had to go and write a whole book about all of us before getting herself killed.”

Ten years ago, Jerry came to New York City to break into show business. Today, his career is stalled, his ex-fiancé is a TV star, and he survives by bartending in Manhattan’s high-end cocktail lounges. Stunned by loss and regret, he is sleepwalking through a hung-over life when he discovers Violet’s book about when they were young, hopeful servers at a Times Square restaurant.

Mustering the courage to open it, he relives the days of call-backs and late nights, angry chefs and crazy customers. As he searches the words of his self-destructive soul-mate, can he reconcile his past and find the hope he lost along the way?

With unflinching honesty, this book lays bare the reality of breaking into show business, while living paycheck to paycheck in the most expensive city in America. If you’ve ever wondered what happens to people who go to NYC to make it in show business and don’t, you will love this entertaining story of redemption.
