The Dentist Chair

The Dentist Chair is a compelling fictional novel about Dr. Harry James Maddox, once a highly respected and trusted pillar of the community. The Valley, as its residents call it, is snuggled deep within the basin of Southern California and is a pretentious small and tight knit community. If there ever was a city that could be classified as Utopia, it was Montgomery Valley. Outsiders are rarely accepted but 'The Valley' welcomed Dr. Maddox and his wife, Katrina, with open arms. They were an attractive couple, he was tall, lean and extremely handsome and Katrina was beautiful in her own right. Their daughters, Beverly and Angela, by virtue of their birthright were considered true Montgomerians and were expected to marry and remain safe and snug in this cozy environment. Dr. Edward Jones, a native Montgomerian retired after forty years of practicing dentistry leaving a patient base of one hundred to Dr. Maddox. Within five years he grew his patient base to over three hundred and fifty. His life could not have been more perfect or happy until he lost focus bringing shame upon his family, his patients, and his community. His failure to distinguish between right and wrong, between what was moral and immoral, what was professional and unprofessional brought a community to its knees, creating chaos, doubt, mistrust, disgust and betrayal. There were lies, deceit and moments of grandeur leading to the unexpected. This once perfect community of Montgomery Valley will forever be soiled by the actions of only one man.
