October 7, 1948. Manhattan’s gray dawn clings to the pavement as Margaret, Mary, and Susan trudge toward Danny’s Diner. The air bites, their breath pluming in the chill. Suddenly, the rumble of a 1948 Chrysler Taxi cuts through the street noise. It slows, tires hissing on wet asphalt, and pulls up beside the trio, offering a warm reprieve from the cold walk.
