A story from yesterday, reflecting the #metoo movement of today.

Here is the back-blurb for novel number two Mothers Daughters Liars .

"An epidemic of cholera changes Tia’s life forever. Her father descends into alcoholism and her mother, Mariangeles, is on the brink of madness. Desperate to escape their domestic strife, Tia leaves her parental home in the west and travels east to a town near Gibraltar. But she is naïve and unprepared for the wickedness that surrounds her, and when a savage fire devastates the community, she finds herself at the centre of spiteful lies and malicious gossip. An ex-priest, a pistol-loving industrialist and a weak, but wealthy charlatan all seek Tia’s downfall, and the only way to prevent her from ruin is if Mariangeles regains her senses and comes to save her.
