[Brian Bates · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful read. Full of great insight and wisdom from a leo wife of 30 years. Highly recommend to any cop wife or military spouse. It covers a very wide range of topics...everything from PTSD to finances.
Well worth the read!

Someone who knows what it’s like to be married to law enforcement! What a great book! I would recommend this to anyone who is new to the force and the seasoned LEO wives. It’s hard being married, it is even harder being married to someone who has pledged their allegiance to serve and protect.

I really appreciated her insight in to LEOW life. There were many things she mentioned that I had not been aware of before.

If you're a police wife, RUN to get this book. I wish I had this at the start of my marriage. It wouldn've saved so much heartache. As a ten-year LEOW, I've seen most of the pitfalls of being married to a cop. Please, save yourself the trouble and invest in this book. You'll be thankful later.
