edit data

A native Nevadan, Brooke was a wife and mother who became a deputy sheriff. Her novel is a fictional account of her time in the academy and working in a jail.

Brooke also worked as the Public Information Officer for Department of Corrections. She walked OJ Simpson out of prison in 2017, and promptly retired from the state.

This is truly a book nobody else could write, based on her knowledge of the police world and desire to empower others to take a chance.
