The book was a confronting read. It’s astoundingly personal, recounting a life of trauma, shameful discrimination, and inconceivable violence.

It also goes into details about the misconduct inside the police force, that’s rarely talked about by insiders.

TW: graphic depictions of rape and abuse, pedophilia, murder, police brutality, racism and racist slurs, parental abandonment, suicide, suicide ideation, death of children/baby

Devoured this in one sitting. Veronica opens her life to us and her experiences working as a police officer in a system that is racist and abusive. This is her cry for justice and abolishion.
