I'm reading this one this week (excerpts from the E-ARC)...
First Chapter...
New York City
1965
I had creased and folded my subway map so many times over the past few days that it was on the verge of tearing in two. Somehow I had boarded the wrong train. Again. I'd ended up at Times Square instead of 57th Street. Now what?
Teaser...
I had moved to New York to become a photographer despite my father and everyone else, including the editor at the Youngstown Vindicator, telling me a woman couldn't do that kind of work.
What do you think? Would you keep reading?
Sounds good. I love ground-breaking women stories — life might have been so different if I'd been one of them. Here's my link for today: https://wp.me/p4DMf0-1F1
ReplyDeleteGreat excerpts. I love books that show life back in the 60s, especially since I relished those times. I've had my eye on this book. Thanks for sharing, and here is mine: “BEFORE SHE WAS FOUND””
ReplyDeleteI would keep reading. Hope it turns out to be a great read.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd love this book.
