Summary
Now retired, he enjoys traveling annually, with favorite destinations including Belgium, France, and Italy.“‘Judge Not…’ is a family saga about the Crapper family, most specifically focused on Judge Bat Crapper’s life and two important cases he has had to deal with in his career,” writes Collard. “Beginning with his mother, Ophelia, in 1895, the story unfolds with the circumstances that brought the judge’s parents together, the four children their union produced, and her death in 1960, when she is eighty. Merely by accident, they later meet in the fishing town of Burano, on an island in the Venetian lagoon.“Tina Tonsil’s story revolves around the second trial which Bat conducts. A famous black comedian is accused of rape, and finds his career destroyed because he was not careful when he should have been.”Published by Hawes & Jenkins Publishing, James Collard’s poignant tale is a thought-provoking examination of the human experience, highlighting how love, trauma, and resilience are an integral part in one’s life and family dynamics. Expertly paced and character-driven, Collard weaves a rich tapestry of the lives of the Crapper family, revealing the enduring strength of family bonds and the complexity of human relationships across generations.Readers who wish to experience this gripping work can purchase "Judge Not..." at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.For additional information or media inquiries, contact Hawes & Jenkins at 888-430-7450.
