City of Girls

In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris is sent to live with her Aunt Peg in Manhattan after being kicked out of Vassar College. Aunt Peg owns the Lily Playhouse, a lively midtown theater where Vivian meets a cast of colorful characters. A personal mistake leads to a professional scandal, upending Vivian's life and teaching her about the freedom she needs to pursue her desires. Now eighty-nine, Vivian reflects on how those events shaped her life and the love she found.
