What happens when ordinary lives meet with extraordinary secrets? In Seasons of Betrayal, author W. Richard Krall delivers a powerful, page-turning family drama set in the heat and haze of 1986 Miami—where one housewife and her husband are pulled into the shadows of South Florida’s underworld in ways they could never have imagined. Their marriage? It’s full of shouting matches, bitterness, and years of resentment.

From the outside, the Santangelo family might seem like just another suburban household. But inside, the walls are closing in. The story centres on Ivy Santangelo, a teenage girl caught in the middle as her family begins to spiral. Her father, Robert, is a man losing himself in a glass of wine and football bets. While her mother, Joann, is chasing the thrill of something new—a decision that threatens to destroy everything.

With biting humour, razor-sharp dialogue and scenes so vivid they pulse with life, Krall invites all of us into a home in Seasons of Betrayal that feels alarmingly real. This is not a fairytale—it’s life, unfiltered and sometimes uncomfortable. Readers will find themselves tossing and turning, feeling unsettled—like someone has slipped into their skin. And perhaps even see the echoes of their own families in the chaos.

It is a story about family, survival and the betrayals we never see coming. Whether you’re drawn to emotionally rich dramas, complex characters, or stories that feel startingly real, Seasons of Betrayal is the kind of book that sticks with you long after you’ve closed the cover.
