Extended description

Classical pianist Renata DiMonte has abandoned a career with the symphony to entertain in the elegant Piano Bar and Lounge of the Claremont Arms, one of New York City’s premier luxury hotels. Haunted by guilt following her mother’s death, Renata finds solace in the music she has always longed to play, bonding closely with her audience for the first time.

Patrons she has never met will request songs, and, without warning, their life stories reveal themselves to her, open books of pain and joy.
