We all understand that there are people who work with dependent
children, children who are physically abused, sexually abused,
neglected, or abandoned. We may be familiar with programs such as
protective services or foster care. This book concerns one
particular group in the dependency continuum less well known, abuse
investigators. When a call comes into the Abuse Hotline, anywhere
in this country, they are the ones who actually hit the streets,
immediately or within twenty-four hours, to go into the home, make
an assessment, and need to be right 100% of the time. They carry
notepads instead of guns and keep their wits about them even in the
face of real danger, real heartbreak, and agonizing frustrations.
Almost always challenging, interesting, and even fun, the work
seems to attract strong men and women of character who are
committed to what they are doing. Hopefully, I was able to tell
their story, to honor them for their dedication and service. This
is a work of fiction and a little over the top to keep the pages
turning. Adults, both male and female, who are looking for a good
read, a rolicking thriller laced with social issues, cops, murder,
sex, and fun should enjoy this book. No one wants to read a
depressingly sad book anyway. I sincerely hope that the reader
comes away with a better appreciation for these men and women and
the extremely important job they do out there every day to help
protect children
