Plot Summary of Dreaming in Color
"Bobby Salton has had about all the horrible abuse she can take from her husband. Unable to tolerate the terrible situation any longer, she and her little girl Penny take off many miles from home. She finds refuge in a rambling house on Connecticut shore.

Hired as a live-in companion to Alma Ogilivie, Bobby helps the retired headmistress regain her independence. But Bobby's battered appearance has quite a startling effect, especially on Eva Rule, Alma's niece, a successful author.

Three very different women grapple with dreams of haunted pastsand yet form a tenuous bond. Just as they begin to look to a better future, the past catches up with them in a violent climax that threatens everything they have come to trust."
Boppy, Resident Scholar
