Diane Fletcher is dead, but her story is not over. Diane’s estranged daughters, Kay and Melody, have arrived to clean out their childhood home but are shocked to learn their mother had become a hoarder in her final years. Along with Diane’s sister and close friends, the ladies work to not only clear the junk, but also understand Diane’s motivations for keeping everything, including secrets. Eventually, Melody finds Diane’s diary. Does the book contain all the things a mother wanted to say to her daughters, or is it a mistake to invade the privacy of the dead?
As they clean up the mess left behind, both literally and emotionally, by their mother, the sisters realize that, like the purple buffalo innocently scrawled on the wallpaper from a childhood long ago, traces from the past leave an indelible imprint on their hearts.
Purple Ink is a story of family tensions and tragedy, but also about finding forgiveness. This powerful one-act explores the bonds between women and a mother’s love that transcends the grave.
