Kirkus named Two Coins one of the Best Books of 2019: "A powerful story with a vivid setting, compelling plot, and multifaceted characters."

Semi-Finalist for the 2019 Chanticleer International Book Awards.

In late 19th century British Calcutta, Mary Pigot became Lady Superintendent of the Scottish Female Mission with a commitment to the students and staff under her supervision. Sometimes she overstepped her place within the Scottish Mission. Occasionally she lost her temper. Gossip said Mary spent too much time with a married male missionary. Rumors said she privately entertained an Indian barrister. Nevertheless, Mary's position remained secure until Reverend William Hastie became head of the Scottish Mission in 1879.

Hastie disliked Mary's independent stance. He listened to rumors and gossip. In 1882, Mary Pigot lost her position. But instead of accepting her fate, Mary Pigot asserted her legal rights and sued William Hastie for libel.

Based on trial transcripts and newspaper reports, Two Coins is a nineteenth century legal saga stretching from the judicial courts of nineteenth century British Calcutta to the church courts of Edinburgh, Scotland. Who will prevail in this public struggle for respect and honor?
