Stranded in New York City by the September 11 terrorist attacks, two sisters from South Africa turn the 2,400 roses they had intended to display at a flower show into a public memorial to the fallen towers. Winter's spare handwritten text and restrained art, with its judicious use of black-and-white and color, dignifies this moving, if rather thin, anecdote of hope in the face of tragedy.
