Daisy Jordan grew up in Indiana, graduated from Purdue University, spent a few years in Denver, and now lives in Fort Myers, Florida. She has been obsessed with New York since she first visited with a friend who grew up just outside the city. On that trip, over the course of 3 days in January, Daisy walked about 25 miles (and bought a ski hat from a street vendor). She now goes to NYC at least once a year, has covered most of Manhattan on foot, and can always give directions when people stop her to ask. She loves the idea of growing up with a life like Jansen’s, but of course, the fiction is always better than the reality.;)
