***For every copy that sells, the author will contribute $1.00 to the 28 Hours of Hope Charity to help abused children and their families *** 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 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 fictitious story based on the real life misfortunes 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 well enough to convince the District Attorney or will the word of a thirty-year-old man be more believable? After all, who would believe a three-year-old?
