About The Book

A New Year. An Old Mess. And a Teen Girl Who Sees It All.

Set in suburban Florida in 1986, Seasons of Betrayal: Part I – January plunges readers into the lives of the Santangelo family – a household held together by appearances but torn apart by secrets.

Robert drinks too much. Bets even more and refuses to admit his family is falling apart. Joann tries to keep order, though her patience wears thin. Their teenage daughter Ivy watches it all unfold – and what she begins to uncover about her twin brother Brad may unravel more than just their dysfunctional home.

Dripping with sarcasm, sharp dialogue, and uncomfortable truths, this book is a gritty, slow-burning family drama that captures a generation, an era, and the silent scream of every teen who sees what adults refuse to face.

Perfect for fans of family sagas, 80s nostalgia, and character-driven suspense.
