Publisher's Synopsis
Hanich, a young man, is presented with a situation of being apprenticed to Mr. Scrimm, who is the proprietor of the Kitchen, which offers "Comfort for People in Extraordinary Circumstances" in the most rundown section of the city, a place called "The Academia." Along with his co-worker, Mira, Hanich is given opportunity to learn the trade of helping people who need it the most, and learning, in the course of it all, that some circumstances are more extraordinary than others.
