Review Quotes

Ann Marie Dennis has written a frank, but disturbing personal memoir of her time spent as a police officer in and around Pontiac, Michigan. This is a narrative that holds little back, recounting both a grim and abusive childhood and a growing sense of self, realized largely through her varied work encounters in the enigmatic world of policing. This is a treatment of some of the good, the bad, and the ugly of police work as told by a compassionate and observant woman who has been there and has much to say.
