When There Is No Safety
Every nine seconds, a woman becomes a victim of domestic violence
in the United States. The laws don't do enough to protect these
women and their children from the abuse, which will always
escalate. Detective Jessica Warren understands all too well how
vulnerable women are in abusive relationships. And she's not going
to stand by and watch as innocent victims are injured, or worse.
The Safehouse is the story of Jessie Warren and the closely knit
network of powerful women who aren't willing to allow abusive men
to hide behind inadequate laws. It's the story of the victims she
helps, some of whom learn to break out of the patterns holding them
trapped. And it's the story of how Jessie navigates the police
system with pragmatism, intelligence, and heart to extend a helping
hand to women in need. But with all the time and emotional energy
she spends helping others, will she be able to maintain her own
life balance? And will she be able to outsmart the one member of
the police force who doesn't approve of her unorthodox methods?
True to life and riveting, The Safehouse will take you on a
compelling journey to justice. The author is donating 25% of
