Three memoirs about the true-life adventures of real women throughout their training and careers—Police Academy, Fire Department, and Funeral Service. Three women who refused to allow any obstacle or person to stop them from achieving their goals.
Suzie Ivy: Bad Luck Cadet
From bookstore owner to the police academy at the age of forty-five, Suzie had everything against her including age and gender. None of it mattered. She refused to give up and with persistence and dedication she showed how strong she truly was by becoming the first female officer in her agency and later moving up the chain of command to detective and detective sergeant specializing in sex crimes.
Laurie Loveman: Hey Guys - The Redhead's Back!
As divorce became part of Laurie’s future, and at a time when women were unwelcome in the fire service, Laurie took up the challenge, both physical and educational, and became a firefighter, retiring 23 years later with the rank of Lieutenant.
Janice J. Richardson: The Making of a Funeral Director
A secretary and special needs mom who dreamt of being a funeral director since she was eight. And, if two grueling and memorable years of training wasn't enough, she went on to get a Funeral Service Practitioner's certification and live her dream.
Entertaining, inspiring, and educational reading: These women grab life by the horns and prove dreams are worth believing and fighting for.
