The life of an inner-city police officer is an exhilarating and challenging task.
It's even more daunting when you're a female and black.
Irene Reyes-Smith has one thing on her mind when working the streets: to make it back home to her family.
Unfortunately, Officer Reyes-Smith has been put in the position of fighting the system from both sides.
In her novel, Surviving the Badge , she writes about defending her right to serve and protecting her son from a system that is ready and willing to make him a statistic.
As you take this walk with the author, you will feel the heartbreak of a mother's challenge to help the world see her son through her eyes.
