About the Book

Dotti Sets a Trap for Mildred—Dotti Miller is having a problem convincing her father that she is being abused by his wife, the mother of his five children. So since she is not able to convince their father of Mildred’s meanness and hatefulness, Dotti will seek Robin’s help to set out a trap for her—to catch her behavior on tape and thereby build a case against her with this damaging evidence against her screaming, cursing, and being abusive toward all of them while Tommy is not around and also of the beatings all of them get. They are sure once he gets the evidence of his beloved Mildred, he will finally believe what he’s refused to accept. He will see through her deceitfulness once and for all. He will see her for who she really is, a mean and dreadful woman—not the charming, loving, or caring woman he believes her to be.
