In her 20s, Lillian begins writing light verse soon her volumes win accolades. Lillian relishes the food and conversation before she vanishes, paying the entire bill and heading down to the Hudson River. Until - in one of many serendipitous moments - a woman invites her to join their family.
She’s famished now, but can’t get seated. Tonight’s next stop is Delmonico’s in Lower Manhattan. “And I did get a small frisson from thinking of Frances Perkins, secretary of labor, who earned $15,000 per year when I was pulling down over $30,000.” Talented and conscientious, Lillian reaches the top by 1935. She meets her new BFF, Helen, at their Christian Women’s Hotel together they gad about the big city.
Young Lillian graduates from Goucher, then lands a plum job in Macy’s ad department.
