Love and Betrayal in Texas

About the Book

Love and Betrayal in Texas, Connie Nanasy's recent suspense-filled novel will finally be in the hands of eager readers.

This is storytelling at its highest degree with all of the elements that an exciting novel should have: love, hate, trust, suspense, Texas traditions of the '50s, out-of-control dysfunctional families, influential and controlling parents, kidnapping and custody trials, vivid settings in Texas, New York, Europe, the Wild West and California. The fascinating characters are all unforgettable.

Laura adored her parents when she left for college. There, she began to spread her wings and gained a little independence, necessary because she was still Daddy's Little Girl. When she met Jim at the university, her life changed in ways she never imagined. They married and her beloved husband had an unfortunate fatal accident, partially due to her parents' sabotage. Though distraught, Laura and their two children began life again.

Her father Will, an attorney, introduced her to his client Dr. Paul Duff, whom she later married. The doctor was accused of kidnapping his small son. After a series of strange and astonishing events, Laura was thrown into jail and her children were taken from her by her parents. Her life became a nightmare, and she had to find a way to get her children back.

What were the secrets that caused these devastating events? Her once-loving parents feared to reveal their shocking past, which led to their destructive actions against their daughter. Would their daughter discover their reasons and could she ever forgive them?
