Sinopsis

How is it that the toxic personality of one individual is allowed to impact the lives of so many? How is it that unrestrained destructiveness and ill-gotten gains are never called into question, and their purveyors never suffer any consequences? Certainly, such behavior did not start with just one person or the family before them. It most certainly has to have begun all the way back amid a contaminated culture—in part, from an Appalachian aristocracy. It had to have started at a time when people regarded women as chattel and when some very powerful parties had first established the law of the land through egotistical urgings. Denial is a fictional account that focuses on two women impacted by such egotistical urges. The two of them, long-suffering from bouts of emotional turmoil, are heiress Katherine Baird and her eccentric mother, Cybil. It is these poor souls who stumble through life after having been emotionally scarred by one Leonard Baird, both father and husband to the women, and it is the mother's cleverness during a long-ago and seemingly ill-fortuned event that changes their lives, establishing a precedent that surfaces in their future after great drama and lethal undoing. Come experience how a woman's cunning casts the blameworthy Baird into standing judgment, not only by society's equitable measures but by the narcissistic man's collapsing conscience as well.
