Sabine Heartwood has finally found a home in the small,
quiet town of Moose River Junction. After a childhood of
moving from city to city with her footloose mother, fortune
teller Madame Ruby, Sabine finds it deeply satisfying to
recognize everyone she sees -- in the grocery store, at the
local newspaper where she works, and in the town movie theater.
But "quiet" doesn't mean dull -- for Danforth Smith has
returned from New York City to deal with family affairs,
putting on hold his promising career as a film director, and
Sabine feels an immediate connection to him. The psychic
gift she inherited from her mother tells Sabine that Dan
guards a painful secret, and soon her heart is as engaged as
her empathy.
Then Ruby suddenly appears in Moose River Junction. She has
never told her daughter why they moved so often, or from
where they originally came -- but now she's finally ready to
answer her daughter's lifelong questions about her past. And
in typical dramatic fashion, Ruby also announces that Sabine
will shortly be at a crossroad that determines her future.
But which life-changing event does Ruby mean?
Sabine has "seen" a tragic event that occurred in Dan's
family more than three hundred years ago, on land his
ancestors owned, and she's finally facing the gift on which
she turned her back many years ago. She's also dealing with
the secrets Ruby has revealed about her history -- and at
the same time she is facing the dilemma of loving Dan, who
can't wait to leave the very town where she has grown roots.
But Sabine must come to terms with all of those changes if
she's to learn the truth of her own heart. Abounding in
insight and generosity, The Fortune Teller's Daughter is a
powerful exploration of love's complexities.
