Broken Chain Part Two: Betrayal (ePub)

A fast-moving small-town family story in the tradition of Mary Higgins Clark.

As Brody Rivers becomes deeply enmeshed in the lives of both Tricia Porter and Lizzy Baker, his life in Granger's Crossing grows complicated and disturbing. His pain, as he experiences empathic connections to the people around him, grows so intense that it's often crippling. The hatred that comes from Tricia's father stabs through him every time Brody interacts with the man.

By now it's 1967. Brody has worked his grocery route for almost three years and he's also been involved with Lizzy Baker for most of that time. Lizzy's abusive husband is suspicious of her relationship with Brody but she manages to block Brody as he attempts to read her. As a result, when the threat increases, she is able to drag him into her desperate situation.

Then the dreams start, vivid and frightening and always connected to Tricia Porter.

Yet they also seem to come from a past life. A garnet necklace that Tricia receives as a birthday gift seems to transport a woman from her nightmares into Tricia's daytime reality.

At the same time, violence shadows Tricia's home life and Brody is certain that her safety is at risk, but he is immersed in his own turmoil with Lizzy. Although betrayal is rife in their small town, the ultimate betrayal will alter the path of Brody's life.

Broken Chain: Betrayal is the second part of the Broken Chain saga.
