“My history with Grace is complicated. My wife, Victoria, had hired Grace's mother, Yi-Jun, as her personal tailor. Victoria found her working as a seamstress for a famed alterations shop on the upper east side," I began, watching Lily's face as I spoke.
“Yi-Jun's work was exceptional, and all Victoria's friends soon used her too. She made enough money to quit her job and work exclusively for Victoria, who hired her for charity functions and ballroom galas.
“Yi-Jun had two daughters; the oldest, Grace, was lovely. Victoria encouraged Yi-Jun to get Grace into modeling. Again with Victoria's help, as well as Grace's height and exotic looks, Grace had no trouble acquiring an agent and scoring gigs.
“The only problem was that no one had asked Grace what she wanted to do." Lily
