Wallace, an aging bachelor, decides to teach himself to play the old piano in his dining room. He's worked at the the same office for thirty years; he's been living alone for twenty. When a young man befriends him, Wallace discovers a sudden passion for music and companionship deep within himself.



This is the fifth story in the Gwinnett series:



Gwinnett is a quiet town where nothing is stranger than the truth, full of hardworking, forgotten people, and desperate men and women who have lost the will to live. But they haven't lost their inner lives, and their stories sparkle strangely, as dark and as bright as the hells of their own making.
