Synopsis

Three-year-old Julie has a secret which she has been told NOT to tell. If she tells, her mommy will be hurt terribly. Secrets in the head of a three year old, however, are like thinking that the sun will forever hide behind the clouds. Eventually, they will both come out, and when Julie’s secret does come out it tears apart two families while bringing them closer together at the same time. “The Monster’s Lap” is a real story based on the life mis- fortunes and betrayals of a young three-year-old girl and the family that loves her. You will have an intimate look into the ups and downs of this family as well as the little known process that goes on from discovery to the final verdict in court. Can a three-year-old express what has happened in her life enough to convince the District Attorney to take on this case, or will the word of a well spoken, well liked thirty-year-old man be more believable? “She can hardly talk. I didn’t do anything and after all, who would believe a three-year-old?”

Author Biography

Drew Bankston lives in the Rocky Mountains with his wife, two amazingly perfect dogs, and a garden.

Before he started writing science fiction, Drew received his bachelor’s degree in Bio-Ag Sciences from Colorado State University. After that, just to shake things up, he never really used that degree but worked various jobs in retail and Asset Protection with some really important people who are way too dignified to be named here. He’s still working but would eventually like to write full-time and stop working for other people. He likes pie and chocolate, as everyone should.

Book Excerpt

The Monster's Lap: Based on a True Story

Across town Doug had just finished working. He loaded all of his equipment into the car and climbed into the driver’s seat. It was about 7:30. He took out his phone and took it off of silent and noticed that he had several texts and a missed call from Carla. He opened the texts and immediately became upset. The texts were from Carla. The first one read, “Family emergency. Please call as soon as you get this!’ The next read, “Really need you to call right away!” Doug was panicked since they still only had the one car and he was afraid that something had happened to one of the kids at home and without a car, Carla was stranded. He pressed the button to call home, started the car and began driving. Carla answered right away.

“What’s going on?” Doug asked.

“The police called,” she said out of breath. “They said that they’re taking Julie away from Sharon and want to bring her here. Child Protective Services are there but will be here soon. You need to come home!”
