In A Girl Grows Up in New York City, we meet a young child bargaining the price of apples with a street vendor. A smart blonde of German descent growing up in a traditional Italian neighborhood during WWII. An adolescent enduring the casual cruelty of her father and unwelcome advances from men on the street. A sister coaching her younger brother in the ways of the big city. This determined girl will grow up to become a nurse, a mother, and a teacher. She will earn her PhD in Nursing and mature into a barrier-breaking professional woman.
