The Book of Fame

What do you do when your life falls apart? You land a dead end job waiting tables at a hole in the wall bar that’s within walking distance of the crappy apartment you can afford because your Prince Charming drained your joint accounts and took the only vehicle when he ran off with a side chick to parts unknown. You form pseudo friendships with a handful of regulars who share their own woeful tales. You take up dog walking during the day light hours to supplement your meager income... And you pray. You pray a lot.
