Conference Room B

A monthly book discussion.

Discuss Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney. 

Embarking on a walk across Manhattan on New Year's Eve in 1984, eighty-five-year-old Lillian Boxfish recalls her long and eventful life, which included a brief reign as the highest-paid advertising woman in America, whose career was cut short by marriage and loss.
