An old white lady in a mink coat walks the streets of New York on New Year’s Eve while reminiscing of by gone years. Lillian has lived a storied life, though not one absent of hardship and sorrow. She was a trailblazer, the highest paid woman in advertising, and poignantly poet. She is charismatic and witty. New York City is one of my favorite cities, and I enjoyed meandering her streets with Lillian.
