Battered Badge First The Bruises, Then The Badge

She was only eighteen years old when she first tasted the blood of violence. She was a young mother, tired of the abuse and constantly on the run, escaping the raging fists of her husband, the man she once loved and trusted. Betrayal of his promises, the beatings, and a near-death experience brought her to find refuge behind a police badge. Her chilling and shattering details of abuse take you on a long journey where she finally ends the family violence and becomes a cop. Based on a true story, Aileen Christine takes you back into the early 1970s when most police were reluctant to make an arrest during a domestic violence call.Christine, Aileen is the author of 'Battered Badge First The Bruises, Then The Badge', published 2005 under ISBN 9781413756968 and ISBN 1413756964.
