"Combining tidbits of cultural history, [journalist] Morrisroe chronicles her life as a bullied Catholic schoolgirl in Moby Dick brogues; a besotted college student in granny boots; an aspiring journalist in Annie Hall oxfords; a skeptical bride in her first Manolos; a reluctant fashionista in towering peep-toe pumps; and a concerned daughter, whose elderly mother hoped that her New Balance sneakers would help her regain her old balance"--Amazon.com.

Patricia Morrisroe is me. And you. And you, too. All of us American Baby Boomers.
And 9 ½ Narrow is a memoir of her life. You will read it and nod your head. You remember Chukka boots, I think. And troll dolls. And all the stuff of 60's life. Especially shoes. It will be a fondly remembered trip through this book. With occasional wisdom thrown in.
