<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>In 1905 Manhattan, Esther Mills sews beautiful
corsets for a living. Her art and talent have earned her economic independence
rare for an unmarried woman of color. At 35, Esther has no suitors but
corresponds with George, a Barbadian laborer who is helping to build the Panama
Canal. As the correspondence grows more passionate, George proposes to Esther
and moves to New York to marry her. With the odds stacked against her, Esther
struggles to keep her dreams alive during a time of great social and economic
change.</FONT></STRONG></DIV></FONT></DIV>
