Purse Strings

A sharp-witted secretary in the throes of the Great Depression navigates a maze of city ambition and personal aspiration. When a chance encounter puts her on the path to financial independence, she must balance loyalty, love, and a growing sense of self-worth. As opportunities beckon, she confronts economic pressures, flaring rumors, and the delicate choreography of workplace power. Across bustling streets and intimate rooms, she tests boundaries, negotiates compromises, and discovers how a purse full of coins can become a symbol of both security and responsibility. Through grit, charm, and a few clever choices, she begins to redraw her own future.
