From Wallflower to Wildflower: A New York City Girl's Journey to Self-Discovery and Unlikely Romance This is the first of a multi-part story. Hope you enjoy! Comments are always welcome. My name is Jessica Gilman, and I was definitely not a girl you’d take a second glance at if you saw me on the subway. And no, it’s not because the guys here in New York are particularly polite -- far from it.
