The Monster's Lap

Three-year-old Julie has a secret she has been told NOT

to tell. If she does tell, she’s been told her mommy will be hurt terribly. 

But secrets in the head of a three-year-old are like thinking that the

sun will forever hide behind the clouds. Eventually, they both come

out. 

 

When Julie’s secret is told, 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 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 and the little-known process that

goes on from discovery to the final verdict in court. Can a three-year-old girl express what has happened in her life enough to convince

the District Attorney to act and bring her justice? Or will the word of a thirty-year-old charismatic man be more believable? 

 

“After all, who would believe a three-year-old?”

 

The Monster’s Lap will show you how the world can be cruel and just at the same time. It will take you into areas we don’t want to talk about out loud, and fear will infiltrate our family life.
