"In those first few fumbling weeks, she hardly dreamed that Marshall Field was to become her whole world, her job, her way of life; that she was to become editor of [the store magazine] Fashions of the Hour, travel to Paris for the store, and eventually leave it to become fashion editor of the Ladies' Home Journal. In the entertaining idiom for which Emily Kimbrough is famous, this book reveals the human comedy and baffling, complicated inner workings of a great department store."
