About The Book

Excerpts from the Book that will Leave You Wanting More:

“I never imagined I would be on the other side of the law. After years of service as a criminal investigator, it was unthinkable that I, of all people, would find myself accused of a crime I didn't commit. As the accusations loomed, I could feel my entire life unraveling. But even in those darkest hours, I found strength I never knew I had.” “Justice is a word we toss around, but when you’re falsely accused, you grasp just how elusive true justice can be. It is a fight—a fight that costs you your peace, your career, and sometimes, your soul. But I had to fight, not just for myself, but for those who stand in my shoes with no voice.”
