In 1905, in New York, a stark social divide contrasts with a dynamic influx of immigrants. An African-American seamstress, Esther skillfully navigates this world, crafting fine, intimate apparel for clientele from elites to the marginalized. Romance blooms through letters from Panama-based George Armstrong as the story explores independence, connection, and the impacts of deception, racism, and classism.
