Introduction

“A waiter who aspires to greatness must make it the sole occupation of his life. We are here to be minor players in the dramas of others, not to dwell on our own. It is a sacrifice, but worth everything to make.”

Edison Wiese's thoughts are evidence of his romantic delusions. Working in a café in an underground mall beneath a sixty-three story building, he dreams of making a difference in the lives of his hurrying customers. But one New Year's Eve, his café becomes the last refuge for those with nowhere else to go. And for a brief moment, it seems that something extraordinary might happen.

This is the first title in a series devoted to Canadian Jewish writing, published by Hungry I Books.
