No more sweeping the "dirty little secrets" under the rug!

The Monster’s Game takes you on an emotional and heartbreaking, yet powerful journey from the author’s early childhood where she had been sexually abused, to almost 50 years later to the mother, grandmother, wife, sister, daughter and friend who still struggles with the effects of that abuse. Through the use of poetry, she breaks her silence and speaks out about her abuse and the abuse of children everywhere. Littlegirl413 emerges as strong and triumphant as she delivers punch by punch blows to her abusers and those who turn a blind eye. This book should be an awakening to people everywhere about the devastation caused by child sexual abuse. It is a call to action as it screams for the child to be heard and validated.

She's five years old, but she’s not afraid of the boogie man, Cause the boogie man knows her name. They said to watch for strangers, But a stranger never caused her pain. She’d tell the ogre to go away, But she’s too little to complain. So while she doesn't understand, She plays the monster's game. And now this beast lives in her head, And is driving her insane. She can't escape the boogie man, Cause she knows the boogie man's name.
