Undeniable Relations: A page-turning mystery set in 1950s Nova Scotia, Canada (Families' Storytelling)

Book Overview

*In the post war renaissance of the 1950s, the idealistic daughter of a fishing industry magnate grapples with knowing that her father’s decades-old criminal activities, hidden under the guise of respectability, have impacted everyone she loves.*

Deidre Doherty is aware she has led a privileged life in the small town ... of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, while others have not been so lucky. Her burning desire to tackle the social justice issues of the day—systemic racism, sexism, and homophobia— propels her to try and reconcile the inequities she sees around her.

A personal loss, after her marriage to a young history teacher, profoundly affects them both. Deidre’s father encourages the couple to forget the tragedy and move on. Dean Doherty’s approach is reflective of his cynical nature as he has no time for anything that does not serve his own self interest.

As Deidre discovers more and more about her parents’ early marriage, and the sources of the Doherty wealth, tension builds. When the secrets and lies are exposed, Dean Doherty will pay the price that the past demands.
=========================================
Undeniable Relations is the third novel in Bruce W. Bishop’s Families’ Storytelling trilogy. Readers of the other two novels, Unconventional Daughters and Uncommon Sons, will be happy to see four beloved characters return. Join them and Deidre in a compelling tale of deception and intrigue. read more

    • Not everyone benefited from the optimism of the 1950s. Civil rights struggles were very real, and sexism and homophobia were rampant. Have any stories been passed down to you about this period in history?

BIOGRAPHY
You know the expression, "Do what you love and the money will follow?" Well, I'm finally doing what I love (writing novels) and I'm still buying lottery tickets!

I'm a born and bred Canadian who has been fortunate to have had a freelance career as a travel writer and author. Now, I'm more of a homebody with ... my diaries and journals. I'm writing books that I hope people won't be able to put down.

My interlinked 'Families' Storytelling' trilogy feature some recurring characters, but can be read in any order. They are UNCONVENTIONAL DAUGHTERS (1880s-1935), UNCOMMON SONS (1935-36), and UNDENIABLE RELATIONS (mid-1950s).

My latest release is a coming-of-age tale, GROW UP, RORY RAFFERTY, set in Toronto in 1979. It was recently described as a "'Heartstopper' for Boomers" and a "delicious book" by literary critic Nancy L. Wigston.

I am fascinated with the interpersonal dynamics within families and between friends in the 20th century settings. How did the social conventions of the day influence and affect our lives?

Will you join me on the journey? Welcome aboard! read more
