At the age of 29 years Rebecca was leading a normal life. Dream job as a police officer, working in the Public Protection Unit, stable relationship and loving family and friends. She couldn't have asked for a better life until a couple of traumatic incidents changed her life in ways that she would never have imagined and the next few months to come turned her whole life upside down.
Being arrested in her own home, by her own colleagues was not only humiliating but the scariest time of her life.
Rebecca is now a mother of two and happily married and having faced death first hand, now lives life to the full. This book is an honest, true account of how she fought to get out of a psychiatric hospital where she was held for 28 days. She overcame her psychosis, and set herself one more goal, could she get her career back in the police force? Mental health is different for every individual as is hope but this book will hopefully give those suffering, the push or motivation to keep going and realise that the impossible is still within reach.
