Synopsis

Tito was really enjoying this special day-the last day of 1999, the last day of the twentieth century. He had a great feeling about this evening's celebrations and about the new century that was only hours away. Little did he know that the greatest surprise of the evening was to have nothing to do with the special dishes that he and his wife, Pat, were planning to serve, the entertainment they were to offer during the course of this auspicious night, or the gifts that they had so carefully selected for each of their guests. You could say that Tito and Pat had been mere instruments in a larger, more complex plan not of their making. It had begun long before either of them were even born, and it would shape their lives and the lives of others in the twenty-first century.

About the Author

Pacific Book Review-Invisble ThreadsBorn in Downpatrick to Gibraltarian parents, Priscilla Sacramento arrived in Gibraltar as a young child. Her childhood was humble but happy.  Her mother would read to some neighbours who would gather in her kitchen, awakening Priscilla’s love for reading and writing.  At the tender age of eleven, she lost her mother to cancer, and she and her sisters were brought up by their father single-handed.  Encouraged by her father, she was one of the few young women from Gibraltar who, at the time, undertook teacher training studies in the UK.  Later, having taken time off work to bring up her daughter, she was offered a temporary post teaching pupils with special needs.  This led to her becoming the Headteacher of St. Martins Special School for over twenty years, and Education Adviser for Special Educational Needs until her retirement.

During her teaching career Priscilla was involved in numerous projects to raise funds to improve the facilities available to these children, using her creative skills as a couturier and milliner.  Priscilla is well known in Gibraltar for her spectacular pageant dresses for Miss Gibraltar and Miss World contestants, as well as bridal gowns and other costumes, including two for the Gibraltar Museum.  She is actively involved in ‘Women In Business Gibraltar’ having served as Chairwoman for two years.  She is a recipient of the prestigious Gibraltar Award.

Priscilla has travelled extensively in Morocco and Spain to research for this novel, and is working on her second one.
