IN the lingerie shop in the basement of her Brooklyn home, Sima Goldner welcomes women of all shapes and sizes with warmth and acceptance -- and a bra that gives them the support and lift they need. But Sima, burdened by the regret of being childless in her sixties, and harboring a secret that has embittered her marriage, cannot seem to do the same for herself. Then Timna, a young Israeli with enviable cleavage, arrives in search of a demi-cup and stays on to become the shop's seamstress. As the two laugh, gossip, and sell intimate apparel to the women of their neighborhood, Sima finds herself awakening to hope and the possibility of happiness in this beguiling story of New York's underground sisterhood, and one woman's second chance.
