With less than two feet of sheetrock separating you and your neighbor in a building soaring up to 50 feet in the sky, ever wonder what the individual's story is on the other side of the drywall?

In this fast-paced compilation of short stories full of funny witticisms, lessons in spirituality and roller coaster drama, the author takes you on a journey into the lives of the people that inhabit a multi-family residential building. Offering intimate portrayals of each person that lives in the real estate rental property; from the owner and investors to the property manager and the tenants, you will gain a new appreciation for the inner workings of a high rise complex!

Your heart will go out to Volda Slack, the irascible foster mother and tenant who works as a principal in an inner-city high school. Promising property manager, Malicki Gretzki, with a Bachelors of Science degree from University of New York, saves the day at a troubled asset while struggling with personal issues of sexuality. At the end of the day, will it even matter? You will find the answers to these questions and many more in High-Rise Chronicles: Every Lease a Different Life, Every Life a Different Story.
