Two strong women, three generations and secrets harbored for a lifetime. This is the suspenseful story of deception and love. Corri Montclair...returns home in 1971 for her mother's funeral - a mystery begins; her identity is shaken. An ex-lover complicates her struggle to sort out the shocking contents of the will. A phantom "someone" is controlling her life. Pegeen O'Connor...defies the conventions of 1895 by falling deeply in love with Chan Li. The consequence of their passion propels Pegeen through a life of constant vigilance as she fights to keep a sacred promise, one that protects both her, and more importantly, her child. As Corri grapples to decipher her past, Pegeen's life unfolds and the mysteries and hidden entanglements that irrevocably drive these women together are revealed. Set in California Gold Country, San Francisco, Chinatown, Sacramento, Singapore, Italy, and England, Touch of Magenta is a story about the need for "family," of the sacrifices made for those we love, and the compelling drive to know the truth of our own history.
