The late 1800s: Three sisters. Three corners of the British Empire. Three lives intertwined... forever.
As he travels the British Empire, diplomat Charles Kittridge leaves behind three daughters: Ailsa in the Scottish Highlands; Li-an in Peking, China; and Genevra in Delhi, India. Bound by threads they neither see nor understand, the three sisters are haunted by their absent father—each in her own way. Creative and intuitive, they come together through their dreams in times of fear and need. Those dreams grow vivid, changing as these extraordinary women learn the lessons the Empire has to teach. And the all-important lessons within their own hearts. No matter the courage and passion, betrayal and loss they experience, their dreams never leave them as each discovers love.
In the end, they believe Charles Kittridge has the power to heal them. But the truth is far more complicated than any of them understand.
