Non-Fiction Memoir
Do you remember the best summer of your life? New York City, 1945. Marjorie Jacobson and her best friend,
Marty Garrett, arrive fresh from the Kappa house at the
University of Iowa hoping to find summer positions as
shopgirls. Turned away from the top department stores, they
miraculously find jobs as pages at Tiffany & Co., becoming
the first women to ever work on the sales floor—a
diamond-filled day job replete with Tiffany blue shirtwaist
dresses from Bonwit Teller's—and the envy of all their friends. Hart takes us back to the magical time when she and Marty
rubbed elbows with the rich and famous; pinched pennies to
eat at the Automat; experienced nightlife at La Martinique;
and danced away their weekends with dashing midshipmen.
Between being dazzled by Judy Garland's honeymoon visit to
Tiffany, celebrating VJ Day in Times Square, and mingling
with Café society, she fell in love, learned unforgettable
lessons, made important decisions that would change her
future, and created the remarkable memories she now shares
with all of us.
