The Sequel to "LIZZY: The Elizabeth Keckley Story"
 

​The story takes place in two different places and eras in time: 2023 in Los Angeles, where we learn about Gigi, a self-taught dressmaker turned aspiring writer.   While researching for a client's custom-order dress, she discovers the story of a formerly enslaved woman named Lizzy, which transports her to the 1800s in the Deep South, all the way to the height of the Civil War.  ​

​

Her life begins to weave in and out of the parallels, with her life and Lizzy's life as dressmakers, mothers, wives, friends, daughters, artists, writers, and stewards of change. These parallel patterns eventually come together and intersect. We see first-hand the suffering and cruelty Lizzy endured during her time of enslavement, the shock and aftermath of Lincoln’s assassination, the grandeur and beauty of the dresses Lizzy made, the challenges Gigi faces in her own life,  Gigi’s world wrapped in the haute couture as she threads the pieces of Lizzy's past together where she comes face to face with her biggest fear, Love.  

Will Gigi find the courage to run towards love and claim it or will she run away from her fear never knowing the love she deserves?
