This book was such a hard hitting read. The women that do the job of being a police officer are such amazing and inspiring women. The story’s in this book broke my heart to hear what families after to go though and what police officers have to deal with in there job it’s so heartbreaking and shocking. The women who police are streets are some of the most courageous women I have heard and read about. I would highly recommend this book xxx
