This book was very helpful and contained a lot of information on all areas of being in the family of a someone in law enforcement. It was information I would not have known without the book and is a good reference in case anything comes up police families might not know how to deal with. This book teaches you signs to watch out for and what to do before its too late. Most people might not know what they are getting into by marrying someone in law enforcement or being born into a law enforcement family; this book is very helpful for knowing what to expect.
This book was pretty informative. I found it funny in places, and helpful in others. I would also recommend that you ask your LEO to read it - it may help them understand things about themselves that they didn't previously.
