"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 NYC to break into show business. Today, his career is stalled, his ex-fianc� is a TV star, and he survives by bartending in Manhattan's high-end cocktail lounges.
