In a Brooklyn basement, Sima gives neighborhood women the support they need—but struggles with her own secrets: “Much more than a novel of female bonding” (Publishers Weekly). Sima Goldner runs her own bra shop, where her customers can find not only a perfect fit but also a sympathetic ear. The store, in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood, is like a secret underground sisterhood where women of every shape and creed can share milestones, laughter, loves, and losses against a backdrop of discount lingerie. Day in and day out, Sima teaches other women to appreciate their bodies—yet feels betrayed by her own. Shamed by her infertility and a secret from her youth, she has given up on happiness and surrendered to a bitter marriage that has lasted over forty years. But then Timna, a young Israeli with enviable cleavage, becomes the shop seamstress. As the two work together, Sima finds herself awakened to long-lost yearnings for adventure and romance—and must decide if what she has is worth keeping. “A subtle, provocative, and utterly compelling examination of the friendship between two women.” —Michelle Richmond, New York Times–bestselling author of The Marriage Pact
