This read will take you on a real-life journey as peace officers are getting shot and desperately fight for their lives.

You will experience fear, anger, sadness, and happiness in the triumph of the human spirit, as you go through a profound emotional roller coaster ride that is extremely compelling. If you've ever wondered what it is really like to be in a gunfight, this is a must-read book. Many of these storytellers have received the Medal of Valor from their respective departments for their actions. One storyteller received the Congressional Badge of Bravery, an award that is rarely bestowed. All the locations are listed so the reader can access Internet maps, go to the street view and see the actual places where the shootings occurred. This is a one of kind read that will chill you, make you cry, and at the same time give you a new sense of respect for peace officers because of what they go through and the values they embrace.

The Mars Room
Author: Rachel Kushner
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476756600
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
TIME’S #1 FICTION TITLE OF THE YEAR • NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2018 FINALIST for the MAN BOOKER PRIZE and the NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD LONGLISTED for the ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL An instant New York Times bestseller from two-time National Book Award finalist Rachel Kushner, The Mars Room earned tweets from Margaret Atwood—“gritty, empathic, finely rendered, no sugar toppings, and a lot of punches, none of them pulled”—and from Stephen King—“The Mars Room is the real deal, jarring, horrible, compassionate, funny.” It’s 2003 and Romy Hall, named after a German actress, is at the start of two consecutive life sentences at Stanville Women’s Correctional Facility, deep in California’s Central Valley. Outside is the world from which she has been severed: her young son, Jackson, and the San Francisco of her youth. Inside is a new reality: thousands of women hustling for the bare essentials needed to survive; the bluffing and pageantry and casual acts of violence by guards and prisoners alike; and the deadpan absurdities of institutional living, portrayed with great humor and precision. Stunning and unsentimental, The Mars Room is “wholly authentic…profound…luminous” (The Wall Street Journal), “one of those books that enrage you even as they break your heart” (The New York Times Book Review, cover review)—a spectacularly compelling, heart-stopping novel about a life gone off the rails in contemporary America. It is audacious and tragic, propulsive and yet beautifully refined and “affirms Rachel Kushner as one of our best novelists” (Entertainment Weekly).
