Her affluent parents send her to Manhattan to live with her Aunt Peg, who owns a flamboyant, crumbling midtown theater called the Lily Playhouse. There Vivian is introduced to an entire cosmos of unconventional and charismatic characters, from the fun-chasing showgirls to a sexy male actor, a grand-dame actress, a lady-killer writer, and no-nonsense stage manager. But when Vivian makes a personal mistake that results in a professional scandal, it turns her new world upside down in ways that it will take her years to fully understand. Ultimately, though, it leads her to a new understanding of the kind of life she craves-and the kind of freedom it takes to pursue it. It will also lead to the love of her life, a love that stands out from all the rest.<\/p>\n

Now ninety-five years old and telling her story, at last, Vivian recalls how the events of those years altered the course of her life – and the gusto and autonomy with which she approached it.\u00a0At some point in a woman’s life, she just gets tired of being ashamed all the time,<\/em>\u00a0she muses.\u00a0After that, she is free to become whoever she truly is.<\/em>\u00a0Written with powerful wisdom about human desire and connection,\u00a0City of Girls<\/em>\u00a0is a love story like no other.<\/p>\n
