Reading the book made me think alot about life and the things that oontinue to distroy our nation. This book couldn't be fiction cause it so real. I know when the public becomes aware of this great novel they'll demand to hear more from this first time writer. Hats of to you Ms Hawes cause your book has some folks I know reading it two times, it was so good. Yes, its a page turner I found it hard to put down. Thanks for serving on the force. We need more people like you to help keep our streets safe and at the same time comforting the less fortunate. Good Luck! Yvonne,

Inside/Out is food for thought. The author captured my attention from the begining of the story.The romance was the part I could relate to the best. I also relate to bieng a working black woman in a man's world. I suggest this novel for everyone but would direct it to all women.Shelley Lenear teaches us how to posses strength and courage.She also teaches us to fight our battles head on. With the knowledge of Gods will and the compassion of a christian heart and hand Shelley survived the trials and tribulations of the police force.Again I encourage this novel to all but direct it toward women, all women as food for the mind, body and soul.
Soul Food for the mind...

First of all, Just wanted to let potential readers know that I am a very close friend of the authors daughter. We went to high school together we were best friends. Her mom (the author) was always a very deep, confident,and proud black woman. She supported us as our vocal managers (singing), and was there for every show. I know that this info seems typical coming from her daughters friend but I have to tell you how deep this lady is. Her whole persona exemplifies wholeness. I know that there is nothing less in this work of art. If you have the time/money ...please check her out. pEACE AND LOVE
