27 Miles: The Tank's Journey Home

by Lisabeth Mackall

On January 2, 2012, Officer Frank Mackall was responding to a call for assistance from one of his partners. On the way to the call, he hit a patch of black ice and crashed his squad car into a tree. He was rescued by his team, and airlifted to the hospital. This story is the emotional journey of his wife during the 84 days of recovery at the hospital following his crash, and subsequent severe brain injury. Each day is a walk through his wife's emotions and fears, and the amazing support from both the community and Officer Mackall's brothers and sisters in blue.

Thank you Lisa for journaling such a painful journey.

I have always had respect for police officers. After reading this, the respect is tenfold. Bless you and your entire "blue" family!

I’ve read the book based on my journey home and I lived my journey. She was very accurate (she was my wife), and the comments she used were very touching. If you want to read about a crash that was nearly fatal to this Police Officer, this is the book to read.
