      abstract = {"There are millions of stories in the city--some magical,  some tragic, others terror-filled or triumphant. Jonah  Kirk's story is all of those things as he draws readers  into his life in the city as a young boy, introducing his  indomitable grandfather, also a "piano man;" his single  mother, a struggling singer; and the heroes, villains, and  everyday saints and sinners who make up the fabric of the  metropolis in which they live--and who will change the  course of Jonah's life forever. Welcome to The City, a  place of evergreen dreams where enchantment and malice  entwine, where courage and honor are found in the most  unexpected corners and the way forward lies buried deep  inside the heart"-- Provided by publisher.},
