Esther, an African-American seamstress in turn-of-the-century New York, makes an uncommon living for herself creating exquisite lingerie for wealthy socialites and ladies of the brothel alike. Plain and unsophisticated, she dreams of a better life and of finding a husband. As her long-distance correspondence with a laborer working on the great Panama Canal grows more and more intimate, Esther finds herself turning away from her old life for the dangerous love of a man she has never met. This acclaimed new drama tells the story of one woman's passion to break free and be herself in a society where she cannot quite fit into the set patterns that are stitched for African-American women.
