Andy was a competitive athelete who became the youngest partner at one of Wall Street's largest law firms. But then a hurricane that bore his name, Andrew, truned his life upside down and inside out. As if by chance, he found himself in an introductory class on the Five Levels of Pleasure available to learned Jews. And he began to cry.
