We Might Just Make It After AllWe Might Just Make It After All

"When Elyce Arons first met Katy Brosnahan in a University of Kansas dorm room, she had no idea that this polo shirt-wearing Missouri girl would not only become her best friend but also change the course of her life. Back then, Katy and Elyce were preoccupied with frat parties and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Within a decade, they'd be scraping by in New York City, working day jobs to spend nights building a new line of handbags that would soon revolutionize the accessories industry. Set against the glitzy and gritty backdrop of downtown New York during one of its most creative and exciting eras, We Might Just Make It After All brings us on the roller coaster of adventures (and misadventures) that the best friends embarked on--from transferring colleges on a whim to cramming into a roach-infested Hell's Kitchen apartment, and eventually creating the chic, simple bag that would launch the pair to global fame and define a generation. Through it all, Katy and Elyce's bond remained unshakable. This powerful friendship lasted nearly forty years, until Katy's tragic suicide in 2018. We Might Just Make It After All celebrates her legacy as a cultural icon and loyal friend."--
