Everything that Glitters

About the Book

Burdick and Season Lafferty lead a life many see as glamorous, traveling the professional rodeo circuit.  Together with their young daughter, Casey, they make their home on the road for the most part, returning to their Colorado ranch every few weeks.  Married at an early age, their relationship hasn’t always been what it should be.  When a rodeo accident leaves Burdick unable to ride bulls or broncs anymore, their perfect world begins to fall apart.  The accident becomes the center of a chain of events that turns their lives upside down.

With Burdick unable to provide for his family, Season must head out on the rodeo circuit alone, and still find a way to help hold her family together.  Burdick finds it difficult to deal with his injury, and soon finds his relationship with Season crumbling.  

Burdick’s mother, Iris, holds the key to the one secret that can change everything, a secret she has guarded for twenty-seven years.  As a tangled web of lies begins to unravel, pushing Season and Burdick further and further apart, they must struggle to put the pieces of their lives and their marriage back together, and rediscover the powerful love they once shared.  With a touching and surprise ending, EVERYTHING THAT GLITTERS is a must read.
