Thirty-five years of marriage. One midnight confession. A covenant on the brink.

Kate believed her marriage was unshakable—until the night her husband confessed he had fallen in love with someone else.

She retreats to the coast of southern Italy with three of her best friends. There, she meets Paolo, a widower whose quiet faith and steady presence offer unexpected peace. What begins as friendship awakens something she thought was lost.

Across the ocean, Grant must confront the pride that led him astray—and the cost of winning her back. When he travels to Italy to face her, Kate stands between two futures—one rooted in covenant…and one offering new love.

Will God restore what’s been broken—or lead her somewhere new?

Why I Wrote Beyond Betrayal

In the fifty plus years that I’ve known Jesus, I’ve learned that he never intends for our pain or losses to be forgotten or wasted. He is a God of pursuing love Who desires redemption and restoration. With Him. And with each other.

While this book is a work of fiction, it is inspired by a very painful season of my life. There are many similarities to Kate and Grant’s story and mine.

Sadly, “Gray Divorces” — couples divorcing after the age of fifty—have more than doubled since 1990. Now, over one-third of divorces involve people in this age group.

I wrote Beyond Betrayal because I faced the prospect of divorce in my mid-sixties.  I was forced to address all the possibilities of how my life would change based on not only my husband’s choices, but on how willing I was to seek and wait for God’s plan. I knew His will was for me to pursue forgiveness, restoration, and redemption. However, I could only control my side of the relationship.

The wondering and waiting was beyond difficult. But, I reminded myself daily: With God—ALL THINGS are possible.

In His power alone,

Danna

P.S. As this book releases, Lew and I will traveling to Puglia, Italy to experience the beauty la dolce vita and see first hand the beautiful area that became the backdrop for most of the novel.
