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?”

Often, things happen in our lives due to things that are done by people and not fate or luck. When bad things happen we look for somewhere, or some one, to which we can lay blame. We often look everywhere else before turning out sights inward. We never want to blame ourselves, but sometimes, that is where the blame lies. Please read this short passage from my book, "The Monster's Lap" and see what I mean. If you are intrigued, please consider purchasing a copy. I'd really appreciate it! Thanks.

The Monster's Lap: Based on a True Story
I could easily ask 10,000 more questions, but I’m not sure if I would ever get an answer. IF you had picked up the phone in the past 6 weeks, I would never know since the call is never confirmed. You said you would be there. Then again, so did your parents and they are why I am in jail.
