Betrayed by Love & Faith: A Journey Through Broken Trust - Paperback

by Marcus Anderson (Author)

Terrence Wint has built his life on loyalty. A devoted husband, a father of five, and a man shaped by faith, he believes that love is sustained through sacrifice, endurance, and showing up, even when it costs you. From the outside, his marriage to Leslie appears intact. They are raising children, managing responsibilities, and maintaining the appearance of a united family. But inside their home, intimacy has thinned, silence has replaced connection, and unresolved wounds have begun to harden.

As Terrence pours himself into work, faith, and duty, he convinces himself that strength means holding everything together. What he cannot name, but deeply feels, is the slow erosion of trust and the quiet loneliness of being unseen in his own life. Leslie drifts further away, and Terrence, unwilling to confront what he fears losing, keeps moving forward, believing perseverance will save them.

When betrayal finally surfaces, it does not arrive as a single act but as a reckoning. The discovery fractures not only Terrence's marriage, but his understanding of family, friends, brotherhood, and the church that once anchored him. As secrets unravel and loyalties collapse, Terrence becomes consumed by the need to understand how the life he built could betray him so completely.

Caught between rage and grief, faith and doubt, Terrence turns to scripture for grounding even as he wrestles with the human urge for vindication. Vengeance is mine, says the Lord, becomes both a promise and a challenge, forcing him to confront the cost of holding on versus the risk of letting go.

Betrayed by Love and Faith is a work of nonfiction inspired by lived experiences. It is a quiet, emotionally driven story about marriage, faith, and the unseen moments where relationships are lost long before they are broken. It asks what betrayal does to a person who believed deeply in love, and whether healing begins not with answers, but with surrender.
