Brother Betrayed

Edmund Kohler and business partner Quinton Long own a successful printing shop in Colorado Springs. Ed's wife, Katherine, heads a local hospital's women and children's outreach program.

The adult Kohler children join the family business, relieving their mother of her earlier promise to take over their father's job if anything happens to him. Except for the occasional intrusion of Ed's younger brother, Oren, who shows up for a handout whenever he's in need, they all live the good life. A concrete truck careening through an intersection and a deathbed commitment change it all.

Woven into the fabric of the story, A Brother Betrayed addresses issues that face many people today. Within the carefully crafted plot, well defined characters find their life courses altered by the sudden death of Edmund Kohler and the unwanted presence of his scheming brother. A manipulative opportunist with a diabolical mind, a chip on his shoulder, and a vendetta against women, Oren Kohler arrives with the sole intent of permanently settling an old score with his sister-in-law.

Meanwhile, other family members and Quinton Long strive to rise above the painful hand they have been dealt and overcome the challenges that threaten to rip them apart. Family rifts, life and death changes, and domestic violence further complicate their lives, and the conclusion brings unexpected closure to the devastating events that forever redirect their paths.
