I have written a book about a true event which has been fictionalized. Details may be reviewed on my web page @ http://www.fathersanguish.com If I sent a copy to you or an associate would someone read it ?. Below is a summary.
 
The harsh realities of a world that we try to shelter our children from have a way of coming back to slap us in the face sometimes. No one knows that better that John Stratton.  John is a man who has always played by the rules; worked hard, loved his wife and adored his only daughter. Yet, when his daughter comes home battered, bruised, and raped his entire psyche is altered. John’s daughter Laura begins to mend from the ordeal but John is tormented by the anguish that has struck him to the very core. A man who has always stood on a solid moral foundation is suddenly ready to jeopardize his marriage, his business and his own character as he becomes obsessed with finding his daughter’s rapist.  His only clue to find this man is a blue nosed reindeer, but God willing it would be enough. 
            When Jason “Red” Hewitt’s corpse is discovered and the investigation leads to the identification of a serial rapist, John Stratton becomes the focus of the investigation.   Did John lower himself to a place that there may be no return from? Or is he a victim of circumstances trying to locate a rapist that someone else got to first?
            “A Father’s Anguish” is a story of rape, love, revenge, law, and murder. It is a story that draws out your deepest emotions; it is a story that was contrived after the rape of my own daughter.  With a chest full of emotion and a head full of rage, I wrote this book to relieve my  own anguish as well as open people’s eyes to the fact that bad things can happen to good people and good people can do bad things.
