Bruce W. Bishop's interlinked trilogy of compelling dramas set in Nova Scotia, Canada, delves into the intricate dynamics of familial ties and personal growth across three generations.

Unconventional Daughters initiates the saga by introducing the intertwining lives of three diverse sisters, and the daughter of one of them, who navigate their paths amidst societal expectations from 1900 to 1935.

As each grapples with her own aspirations, they confront the constraints imposed by tradition and the pull of individual identity. The story of one of the women, Eva, who marries her mother's second husband, was inspired by a true incident in Nova Scotia in the 1920s.

Uncommon Sons tells the story of a first generation Lebanese Canadian man, Marc Youssef, who works as a dining room manager in Halifax in 1935 and 1936. His strong ties to his heritage conflict with his self-awareness as a gay man at a time when homosexuality was a criminal offense.

When two guests are found dead in a guestroom at the hotel where he is employed, he is implicated in the investigation. His best friend, Eva McMaster, one of the women from Unconventional Daughters, helps him to uncover the truth behind the deaths.

Undeniable Relations, set between 1958 and 1958, has a main character, Angus, who is the son of Eva McMaster. He is a high school teacher in rural Nova Scotia whose marriage to the idealistic daughter of a seafood magnate uncovers the criminal past of his father-in-law and his associates. This murder mystery is another page-turner that explores the heady but complicated decade that follows the second world war.

Atlantic Books Today writes that "Over the last few years, Bruce W. Bishop has built a following for his series of historical fiction set in Atlantic Canada. But with names like Unconventional Daughters, Uncommon Sons, and now Undeniable Relations, he overcomes the sheen of the past to explore people left out of history." (April 20, 2023)
