A Mirror of Times is a story about the life of a middle-class family and the ongoing struggles of its strong, resilient women against prevailing and dominant sexism. In the late 19th century in Matagalpa, Nicaragua, Maria Adela Arana, a daughter from a devout and respected Catholic household, started a new family branch, the Arana-Parodi lineage. At that time, Matagalpa was a remote frontier town near tropical forests and nearly impassable mountains, isolated from the major cities on the Pacific coast. However, it soon transformed into a respectable agricultural area with great potential. Between the ages of sixteen and twenty-eight, Maria Adela gives birth to four children-two daughters and two sons. From these roots, a large family grows, experiencing ups and downs similar to the city's growth, eventually becoming a key urban center in the 20th century. While one side of the family achieves economic success, the rest struggle with poverty and social scandals that keep them on the brink of acceptance and rejection by their strictly traditional community.
