An enchanting and staggeringly original debut novel about
one day in the lives of three unforgettable characters
Madeleine Altimari is a
smart-mouthed, rebellious nine-year-old who also happens to
be an aspiring jazz singer. Still mourning the recent death
of her mother, and caring for her grief-stricken father, she
doesn’t realize that on the eve of Christmas Eve she is
about to have the most extraordinary day—and night—of her
life. After bravely facing down mean-spirited classmates and
rejection at school, Madeleine doggedly searches for
Philadelphia's legendary jazz club The Cat's Pajamas, where
she’s determined to make her on-stage debut. On the same
day, her fifth grade teacher Sarina Greene, who’s just moved
back to Philly after a divorce, is nervously looking forward
to a dinner party that will reunite her with an old high
school crush, afraid to hope that sparks might fly again.
And across town at The Cat's Pajamas, club owner Lorca
discovers that his beloved haunt may have to close forever,
unless someone can find a way to quickly raise the $30,000
that would save it.
As these three lost souls
search for love, music and hope on the snow-covered streets
of Philadelphia, together they will discover life’s endless
possibilities over the course of one magical night. A
vivacious, charming and moving debut, 2 A.M. at The Cat's
Pajamas will capture your heart and have you laughing
out loud.
