What True Betrayals is about
Kelsey Byden grew up certain her mother had died. In fact Naomi Chadwick is alive, living on a horse farm in Virginia, and spent years in prison for killing her lover. Learning the truth leaves Kelsey with a lifetime of lies to untangle and some complicated feelings about the woman she never got to know. Her own life is shaky too: her marriage has just ended, and she finds herself pulled into a new romance that feels uneasy from the start.
