What Did Lenny Do at the Helen Mar [first edition]

This is an amusing and sometimes hilarious, heartfelt tribute to what is an amazingly wise and insightful Jack-of-all-trades. Lenny held an entire apartment building together in his hands for over 30 years, delighting tenants and tradesmen alike. Every building should be lucky enough to experience a Lenny! PHYLLIS BUSELLLenny, is a warm story of a man who gives love and wisdom in everything he says and does. A beautiful soul!!! MARILENA BRISENOThe story of how one man kept a historic building in great shape for many years is one you’ll enjoy reading. It’s very Miami Beach! DAVID LEDDICKWhat a great book that highlights how one person can have such a huge impact on others just by being there for them when needed! Susan is a very talented author and I love how she truly captured Lenny in her book. Mikey SchneiderOnce again, Susan Rosler has crafted a heart-warming, personal story of love, humor and the importance of a strong work ethic. She relates anecdotes about Lenny, the loyal and hard-working maintenance man of an iconic Art Deco building in Miami Beach: the Helen Mar. Behind every glamorous facade, she seems to be saying, there lies a secret history. In this case, she reveals a raft of quirky events and acts of devotion that characterize the "super" Lenny and his efforts to hold together the beautiful building and its sometimes unpredictable residents. From hurricanes to household pests, and from flying party guests to fire-fighting, there is chapter after chapter of inside stories redolent with drama and yet related in Susan's laconic, spare text. They reveal an observant eye a keen sense of irony that is Susan's hallmark style of prose, and they leave us with tongues hanging out demanding more! Long may she write for us! JUDE PARRY
