Even with several other stories on the board, Laura decided, after many years of vague and frightening rumors as her only information, to face her fears head on and find her son’s dad in the California prison system. It wasn't hard to do. What evolved has been a continuation of the love story, decades in the future, family by their connection through their son.
After tens of years alone, spent recovering his mind, his soul and his humanity, when Little wrote her first letter to him in Prison in 2006, she was completely surprised to find him the wonderful, kind and intelligent as he ever was.

Back in the day, when she was still just a kid, Little met and fell in love with a man who would later commit one of Sacramento, California’s most horrific murders, the Toolbox Murder. This is their story; it is one of forbidden love and undeniable passion. It is a story that changed them and their family and their children's lives forever.

Book Two: Toolbox Tale's
Authored by Little Savage, Authored by Tim Toolbox Sugars
ISBN-13: 978-1479269068
​
The story of Little and Tim continues in Toolbox Tale's. I invite you to listen to the same story that Little told you but told from the perspective of Toolbox himself. You will see it is a vastly different story to Little’s version. In Book Two you will witness a man locked in a battle to keep himself together after a life altering brain injury and a plunge into the dark life of a drug addict after the abandonment of his family.
Like me, you may weep to see him fall as he did. But he is not a man to stay down and his story continues to ‘Surprise’ me, even faced with a life time in prison. I hope you enjoy both of my introductory Novels, Little’s Toolbox Books One & Two.
Little's Toolbox Book Three:
Endless Letter
Authored by Little Savage, Authored by Tim Sugars
ISBN-13: 978-1482319125
​
Can Little ever again trust that Tim will be the same, loving man she knew when they were young? Or will Tim die a number lost amidst the thriving Prison Industry? Is there ever justification to kill another human, no matter how vile and how many innocents they have and will harm?
For the past decade Little hunted for the truth of what Tim did and the truth of why. It was a crime committed decades ago, a one-time event largely brought on by a life threatening brain injury he suffered only two years before. Still he has no qualms telling anyone that asks that he, himself, is horrified by what he did and suffers terrible nightmares to this day.
Endless Letter is a collection of some of the letters sent between Little and Tim as they were re-introduced, reformatted into this series from the countless thousands of pages that fill several boxes. Included are the original hospital and court reports to fill in the cracks. You have all the evidence you need to decide the answer those questions for yourself.
To make things even more uncertain, Little’s investigation begins during a tumultuous period of California prison history. A tragic number of citizens being stuffed into dangerously overcrowded facilities. Sadly, Tim’s is not the only story there is. Our prisons are bursting with geriatric offenders who will likely never step outside a prison again before they die.
Ultimately, the question of how we feel about and treat our inmates is ours to solve. It is a question that will impact more than just the thousands of convicted inmates but Every California citizen, and we must believe we can find a better way.
