About the Book
Every day, society is bombarded with images of strong men leading the charge of law enforcement in media, education and entertainment, serving as the faces behind the badge. But no matter how often they are overlooked, there are thousands of women who don the blue uniform, too. And their stories aren’t imaginary or fabricated…these women are real.
In Women in Blue, author Irene Reyes-Smith joins a group of female officers from around the nation together, compiling their astounding, breathtaking, and often heartbreaking tales of being a woman behind the badge, and how it affects their lives. They are wives, mothers, sisters, daughters and friends, bound to uphold the law as they balance their lives and stressful careers. But what happens when they finally drag through the front doors of their homes after a grueling day on the streets?
…will they even make it home?
Take the harrowing journey with ordinary women as their hearts collide with the passion, pain, challenges, happiness, mountains and valleys while simply trying to survive it all. Will they stop before they’re able to push through all that comes at them, or will the Women in Blue use their faith in God to conquer adversity?

The Badge
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” Matthew 5:9 (NIV)
For most, the badge is a symbol of law, trust, respect, and honor. It is equated with symbols of authority for those who take an oath to uphold the integrity that comes with upholding order, such as police and fire personnel whom we entrust to maintain the safety and sanctity of our neighborhoods and communities. But what happens when the symbol we’ve come to equate with authority takes on an entirely different meaning?
In The Book, Author Irene Reyes-Smith redefines The Badge as Broken Authority that Determines Governing Equality. In these pages, you’ll discover the nuances that The Badge holds beyond what we are accustomed to, as well as the part we play in upholding the true meaning with integrity, humility and respect. The Word of God is our ultimate protection and shield; however, the men and women who wear the badge everyday are human, have feelings, and just want to know that they are appreciated.
What do you see when The Badge comes into view? Dive inside, and discover the truth that will not only renew your perspective, it will lead you to the peace behind the symbol.

High Heels On Gravel

Creatively blending wisdom, charm and wit to introduce biblical context in this practical devotional with a realistic approach, Tamee shares personal anecdotes that will not only make you laugh, they’ll encourage you to maintain your Christian walk, while journaling your thoughts along the way.
