Perhaps more than any "new look" story so far, "My Father's Betrayal" presents a very poignant situation. When Veronica and her friends vow to save a nature preserve from being turned into an industrial park, they discover the issue isn't as black and white as they think: not only will the industrial park bring much-needed jobs to the out-of-work residents of Riverdale, it will also help lower property taxes. But the biggest conflict of all? The industrial park is being funded by Veronica's father! Now every installment of this explosive tale is collected under one cover in this special paperback edition.
